10 Different Shapes of Modak/Kozhukattai Recipe – with and without mold

As Vinayaka Chathurthi is around the corner, I wanted to show the simple way of preparing modak/Kozhukattai shapes. I came up with 10 different shapes and you can make any shapes of your choice too.

You can make rice flour in 2-3 methods. I made this rice flour dough with homemade rice flour. Instead, you can even use store-bought idiyappam flour. The one given here is an easy method. For preparing rice dough either you can use a cup of boiling water or a cup of hot milk or half of the boiling water and half of the hot milk. The filling which I have used here is the regular sesame jaggery filling. This can be had as an evening snack too.

I have already posted few more Vinayaka Chathurthy recipes like Kara Pidi Kozhukattai, Vella Pidi Kozhukattai, Ammini Kozhukattai, Paal Kozhukattai, Gulkand Milk Powder Modak. Now let us see how to prepare this recipe.
