Notes
I used store bought rice flour, you can also use homemade rice flour.
Another way of mixing – Instead of transferring the boiled jaggery syrup to rice flour bowl. Transfer the whole mixture of rice flour to boiling jaggery syrup pan, mix it in low flame and turn it off.
Amount of water depends on quality of rice flour.
If your dough is sticky, add some more rice flour.
Here I used paggu vellam.
Adding salt enhances sweetness.
Don’t allow the dough to dry, keep it covered and shape the kozhukattai.
