Ulutham Kozhukattai / Urad dal Kozhukattai
Spicy version of sweet kozhukattai made with urad dal and chillies. This is made as neividhyam on Vinayaka chathurthi. Since it is a steamed and healthy food I make this as evening tiffin too. Whenever I make Sweet Kozhukattai on festive days, I make a point to make this also for my mother in law who is diabetic...
