Ammini Kozhukattai are basically rice flour dumplings. These mini dumplings are steamed and later tempered with mustard seeds and curry leaves. There are many versions of these, you add a tempering of your choice. You can make lemon ammini Kozhukattai, spicy red chili or coconut ammini Kozhukattai. Not only this you can make a sweet version as well. What I have made today is a masala ammini Kozhukattai with a masala made from sesame seeds, lentils and coconut. Enjoy your healthy and steamed snack the way you want.
