Pal Kozhukattai Recipe

When it is warm, grease your hands with a little ghee and knead it to soft pliable dough.(keep the dough covered with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying. The dough will not stick to your hands, if it is cooked well.

Make small balls like gooseberry out of it and keep it ready.(that's a close up shot of the ball, so it appears big). If the ball are big, they will take more time to get cooked and they will taste bland in the dish. So make small sized balls.

Boil 1 cup of thin milk, when it starts boiling, reduce the flame and add the balls gently.The balls should be immersed in the thin milk. If not, add more thin milk. Do not stir it for the first few minutes. Then stir gently and cook in medium low flame for 5-6 minutes or until done. (the balls will change color and start coming to the surface when they are cook. You can even taste the rice ball and check if they are cooked)

Now add the thick sugar water, cardamom powder and cook for a few more minutes until it becomes slightly thick and saucy.

It will thicken a little as it cools down. Enjoy Pal Kozhukattai warm or cold!!
