This was the 4th challenge of the SNC group and Tamil had put up for us this mysterious dish. :) Thanks Divya for the group and its challenging recipes.
For feb here are the challengers:
North team's host Sanoli from Sanoli's recipes- Green pea kachori with dum aloo click here
South teams's host Tamil from Tamil's kitchen- paal kozhukattai click here
Since I am from the north team I made the Pal Kozhukattai and the pati ate it like it was popcorn. He is more fond of coconut. I dont like it that much but I do use it often while cooking.
Here is Tamil's version and recipe with a pictorial tutorial.
