Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai



For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the rava recipes in Tamil cuisine.
When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention.
The method of making this kozhukattai is same as upma kozhukattai,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............

  Method 
  • Heat the oil in a pan and splutter the mustard seeds,add the urad dhal,let it fry.Add in green chillies,curry leaves and the asafoetida.Now add the semolina and fry it for couple of minutes in a medium flame.Add the soaked moong dhal.
  • Mix it well and to this add the hot water, give it a mix,add the salt.
  • Let it cook for 2-3 minutes or till the water gets absorbed.Add the finely chopped coconut and coriander leaves to it and put off the flame.Mix it well and let it cool down for 3-4 minutes. 
  • Meanwhile grease the idly plate with few drops of oil and keep it asideNow take a big gooseberry size of prepared dough in the hand and close it with fingers and make a fist.
  • Arrange the prepared kozhukattai on the idly plate.Also keep the idly pot on the stove with water and let the water boils for 2-3 minutes.Once the water gets boiled,keep the plate inside.Cook it for 3-4 minutes or till it gets cooked completely,put off the flame.Take out the plate and let it rest for a minute.Remove the cooked kozhukattai from the plate.
  • Serve it warm with coconut chutney




  • Instead of making fist(pidi) shape,it can be rolled into balls.
  • Grated coconut can be used instead of pieces.
  • The amount of water depends on the quality of the rava,if the rava is on the coarser side then need little more water to cook.
  • Do not cook the kozhukattai for long time,also while steaming the kozhukattai the water in the steamer/idly pot should be boiling.

The dhal gets soaked in less than an hour,once the batter is ready the dosa can be made.Grated veggies or some greens can be added to make it more healthy.
