Method for making Wheat Kara Kozhukattai:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a heavy bottomed pan dry roast the fine wheat flour in medium flame till nice aroma comes at least for 10 minutes without burning the flour. Keep it aside. Let it get cooled down.

 

 

 

 

 

Boil generous amount of water in a vessel with salt. Once the water starts boiling add two tea spoons of oil to water.

Keep the roasted flour in a broad pan and pour the water around it slowly. Keep stirring the  flour with a ladle.

Since it is a roasted flour, it will absorb more water. Add water till the batter comes to the consistency of Chapathi dough.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heat 2 tea spoons of oil and add mustards seeds, urad dal, hing powder, green chillies, chopped ginger and curry leaves. Add them to the kneaded batter. Add grated coconut also. Knead them together to soft dough.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Grease the idli plates. Grease your palm and make small balls out of the dough and steam them out for 15 minutes. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Wheat Kara Kozhukattai is ready to eat now. It tastes very well with mint chutney or Coriander chutney.

Note:

Instead of roasting the wheat flour, store bought wheat idiyappan flour could be used which does not need to be roasted.
