Ulundu Kara Kozhukattai Recipe | Ulundu Pidi Kozhukattai | Ganesh Chathurthi Recipes

Though we don't celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi at home, I have seen my mum making kozhukattai during this festival season. She makes Paal Kozhukattai, Arisi Pidi Kozhukattai and Therali Kozhukattai. When I was a kid, I don't prefer any of these kozhukattai and I started loving it when I grow up. I ask mum to make kozhukattai whenever I feel like eating it and to continue that tradition I am making kozhukattai now. Happy has slowly started showing interest in Paal kozhukattai and I want to introduce a variety of kozhukattai to her.  Today, I am sharing the recipe of ulundu kozhukattai that I saw recently in Rak's Kitchen. This can be made it for breakfast or dinner and it goes very well with coconut chutney or any other spicy chutney. Do check out the collection of my Ganesh Chaturthi recipes from the blog. Let us move to the preparation:

Therali Kozhukattai Recipe | Bay Leaf Sweet Kozhukattai | Therali Appam | Ganesh Chathurthi recipes

Happy Vinayagar Chathurthi to all my friends, readers and their families. Today, I am sharing Therali Ilai Kozhukattai as my last recipe for this year's Kozhukattai collection. It is one of my mum's favorites and she makes it very often at home. In the place where my mum was working, for Karthigai Deepam, all my neighbors share us kozhukattai prepared using palm leaves. And, mum shares with them this Therali Kozhukattai. I can recollect many cherishable memories of mum if I think about this kozhukattai. It is very famous in my native since the tree with therali Ilai/Bay leaf is readily available in many houses. I prepared and clicked it during my last India trip at Jany's house since they have a very big tree in the backyard.
The strong smell of the fresh bay leaf enters into the kozhukattai/appam while steaming and gives great flavor to the kozhukattai. The house smells divine after we make this kozhukattai. My mum-inlaw helped me while making this kozhukattai and it came out super awesome. Both uncle and aunty liked it very much. I felt really happy when uncle was appreciating for the perfectly folded kozhukattai's. Do check out my kozhukattai collection too. Let us move on to the recipe:

Hello everyone! If you are planning to make Kozhukattai for Ganesh Chathurthi, then please visit my Kozhukattai collection. Today I am sharing a sundal recipe to add on this list. When I was in Chennai, I went to my neighbor's house for Golu and I tasted this Channa Masala sundal for the first time. It was so tasty and I wanted to try it at home from that time. Last weekend, I was about to try something for Vinayagar Chathurthi and this recipe comes to mind. Immediately, I made this and we all loved it. Let us move on to the simple and yummy sundal:

Chakka Ela Ada Recipe | Ela Ada | Elai Kozhukattai with Jackfruit & Coconut | Elai Adai

Elai Adai is one of my favorite snacks that is made in my hometown. I was planning to click Ela Ada during my last vacation to India since finding jackfruit and Banana leaf is really hard in Sydney. However, I missed it and recently, to my surprise I spotted banana leaf and jackfruit in Indian shop. I grabbed both of them immediately since I had few recipes in mind. Jackfruit can be skipped if you couldn't find it. Let us move on to the recipe:

Thengai Poorna Kozhukattai Recipe | Mothagam | Modak | Ganesh Chathurthi Recipes

Already I have posted a poorna kozhukattai (with Channa Dal filling) here. This morning I made kozhukattai with coconut and cashew filling. The cruchy cashew and chewy coconut gives nice flavour to the poornam. This time I wanted to make the kozhukattai with mould to get nice shape. For the past one week, I was searching for this mould in different shops. I ordered that mould and got it last night. I woke up very early with curiousity to try this kozhukattai in a mould. It came out very well, though Happy collapsed a few before clicking :) . If you wish to prepare it without mould, check the steps to make kozhukattai here.

Sweet Pidi Kozhukattai Recipe | Ganesh Chathurthi Recipes

Happy Vinayagar Chathurthi to all my readers!! I am with a sweet kozhukattai to celebrate this occasion. My blogging mind made me to prepare this kozhukattai after coming from office. Jany doesn't show any interest in Kozhukattai, but I make it once in a while for me. Now Happy is interested in anything that is sweet. I make this kozhukattai for her and she loves it to the core. This is a very simple recipe, which I tried with a store brought flour. It was very soft and everyone liked this. I will post the traditional sweet kozhukattai as soon as possible.

Channa Sundal Recipe | Kondakadalai Sundal Recipe | Chickpea Sundal | Vinayagar Chaturthi Recipes

Happy Vinayagar Chathurthi dear readers!! Whenever I make Channa masala or kondakadalai curry, I reserve some cooked Channa for preparing this sundal to accompany evening coffee. We can prepare it in a jiffy, if we have cooked channa in hand. I prefer it when tempered with dry red chilli and more coconut. Chickpeas are a good source of protein and rich in iron content. I often try to include it in Happy's diet. And, onto the simple and interesting recipe.

Pidi Kozhukattai Recipe| Upma Kozhukattai | Ganesh Chathurthi Recipes| Kozhukattai using boiled rice and moong dal

This is my final kozhukattai post for this Vinayagar chathurthi special recipes. I never expected, I will try these many kozhukattai's in my lifetime. The blogging world has completely changed me, I am happy that I learned so many recipes which are completely new to me. Now I am confident that I can feed my daughter and husband with a variety of food. This is the recipe from my mom, she makes it often as evening snack. She prefers doing it with boiled rice than raw rice. So, I have followed her instructions for this preparation and it turned out very well.  Check out my other Ganesh Chaturthi recipes here:

Vella Kozhukattai / Modhagam Recipe-Modak | Vinayagar Chathurthi Recipes

This is my first post for Vegan Thursday, an event where vegan recipes are shared every first and fourth thursday of every month. Today's post is about Vella Kozhukattai. This is one of the Kozhukattai I love the most. I like anything that is made with Jagerry. Jagerry with Coconut and Channa dal is a yum combo. With this filling and maida, mom used to make Susiyam (Suzhiyam) which is my favorite. This is the first time I am using channa dal filling for kozhukattai. While making the filling, Happy was sitting near me and watching. I gave her some filling while making it, she really loved it. We really loved the kozhukattai and here is the recipe.

Mani Kozhukattai recipe| Ammini Kozhukattai | Vinayagar Chathurthi Recipes

When I saw this cute Kozhukattai in some of the blogs, I really wanted to give a try. The name of the kozhukattai sounds interesting and it can be made quickly as an evening snack. The left over dough after making Modak or Idiyappam can be used to make these cute tiny balls. Even though Jany doesn't like any of the Kozhukattai, I pester him to try it. Thank God for giving such a loving person to support whatever I do, with his charming smile. Here we go for the recipe.

Ellu Mittai Recipe | Sesame Seed balls / Til Laddo / Ellu Urundai

When I was searching for Vinayagar Chathurthi Special recipes, apart from Kozhukattai and Sundal I found this Ellu Urudai as one of the special recipes made for that day. Ellu Urundai is one of the addictive sweet, which is made with just two main ingredients Ellu and Jaggery. Both these ingredients have high health benefits. The tiny, nutty sesame seeds are loaded with many essential minerals such as iron, calcium, phosphorus etc., While the Jaggery is the richest source of iron as well. This recipe is one of the easiest ways to enjoy the health benefits of these ingredients. Here we go for the step by step preparation of this nutty Ellu Urundai.
