 PREPARATION

FOR THE KOZHUKATTAI
Take a microwave safe bowl. Add water, salt and oil to it. Close with a
microwave safe lid and microwave it on HIGH for 2 minutes.

Remove
the lid and add the rice flour and mix thoroughly without lumps.Close
with the lid and again microwave it for 1minute in MEDIUM HIGH mode.
Take it out and see if all the moisture is absorbed or else cook for another 30 secs

I HAVE USED MICROWAVE COOKING FOR THIS PART. YOU CAN ALSO USE THE TRADITION WAY OF DOING THIS IN THE STOVE TOP MODE

Let it cool. sprinkle a little water and knead into a smooth dough.

Make small, tiny balls and keep aside.

You
can steam them in the microwave itself or steam it in the stove top
mode.I use the stove top method to steam and steam it till cooked(7-10
minutes)
