Kozhukatta Spicy

Its a 4 PM snack item in most of the Kerala households. This is not a sweet Kozhukatta but a spicy one which makes it a good choice for Breakfast too.
When i looked, i didnt find a recipe for this type of Kozhukatta available, so thought of posting it. Who doesnt like a twist, ryt?
We usually add lots of small onions and mustard, eating each 'kozhukatta' with a little bit of onion and mustard is the perfect way to have them :-)

Ingredients (Serves 3)
Rice powder - 1 1/2 cup
Grated coconut - 1/2 - 3/4 cup (the more the merrier)
Cumin seed - 1 tsp
Salt
Water - 1 1/4 cups

For Temepering
Oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard Seed- 1 tbsp
Curry Leaves - few
Dry Red Chilly - 5-6
Small Onion chopped - 15 nos

Dry roast the rice powder with cumin seeds for 10 mins in medium heat. Keep stirring.
Add the salt and mix it into this powder. Take care not to add more salt as you will get the salt taste only after adding water
 Add the grated coconut and now add the water slowly and start mixing it till you get a consistency of that of a chapati dough.
Now make small balls of the dough and steam them till its cooked well.
The smaller, the tastier they are
Mine took about 20 mins in medium heat
Once the steam starts coming out, i reduce the heat to low- medium and allow it to cook.

Once the kozhukatta is cooled enough to handle, start with the tempering
Heat oil in pan and splutter the mustard seeds. Then add the curry leaves and dry red chillies.
Now add the onion and saute them till it gets a brown color. Take care not to burn them
Toss the Kozhukatta along with the tempering and let it stay in low heat for 5 mins.
Yay...Its done

Eat Kozhukatta along with the mustard and onion. It tastes better that way :-)

Happy Eating
