Maida Kozhukattai
On the third day of Navarathri I made fried modak / Maida
Kozhukattai for prasadam using all purpose flour (Maida). The method of this
kozhukattai is making a stiff dough filling
it with the same coconut jaggary fillings. It taste divine is not just enough to explain the
taste. Fried modaks/ Kozhukattai are easy to make and tasty to relish.
