Kavuni arisi sweet pidi kozhukattai recipe

Kavuni arisi (Black rice)sweet pidi kozhukattai is a a very yummy and healthy snack that can be easily prepared at home using chettinadu rice flour, jaggery, coconut and elaichi for flavoring. As vinayagar chaturthi is near by I thought sharing this kozhukattai recipe will be ideal. Traditionally kozhukattai is made with rice flour but to make the recipe more interesting and innovative I tried to make the same old recipe with chettinadu rice flour i.e kavuni arisi flour which turned out to be excellent. I got this black rice flour from Indiana store with which I usually make Puttu, halwa and upma sometimes. Now if you guys have this flour at home or find it in store do try this recipe for this vinayagar chaturthi. So let’s get to the making!
