Rice dumplings

This week I got the opportunity to write for one of my blogger friends, Hetal of Pretty Polymath. I’m pretty excited for two good reasons. First, this is my very first guest blog post ever. Second, Hetal came up with a brilliant topic – favorite childhood food.

Needless to say, these rice dumplings or kozhukkattas were one of my favorite foods during my childhood. Dumplings filled with coconut and jaggery – they’re the perfect afternoon snack.

What’s your favorite childhood food?

Rice dumplings

Kerala style rice dumplings stuffed with coconut and jaggery.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of rice flour
  • 1 cup coconut
  • ¼ tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 cup jaggery
  • water
  • salt

Instructions

  1. Start with boiling 2 cups of water with a good pinch of salt. Then pour water into 2 cups of rice flour and stir with a spoon. (I only needed 1 ¼ cups of water). When the dough is warm enough to touch, knead it to make soft dough. Set aside.
  2. Meanwhile mix 1 cup jaggery, 1 cup coconut and ¼ tsp ground cardamom together. Set aside.
  3. Now to make the dumplings, take a lemon sized ball of dough and shape it into a cup. Fill it with coconut jaggery mixture and shape it into a ball again. Repeat the process until the dough is used up.
  4. Place them in a steamer, and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.

    These look amazing. I’m a bbq guy at heart but who can say no to a good dumpling?! My favourite childhood food would have to be home made soup. I know, boring right? The key is the home made part. Nothing out of a can. My mom made a potato soup that is kinda a family recipe that I love still and now make.
