Rawa Kozhukattai

Have you ever tasted the South Indian delicacy Kozhukattai? Try it, amazing for snacks or tea time! Light on breakfast and can be made and kept for in between hunger. I love them and tried making in rawa today. Amazing flavors and really smooth taste. With or without chutney, it is my favorite snack. Do try this and see your kids finish the bowl.
