Steam It with Raava Kozhukkatti

Steaming is one of the simplest and
healthiest cooking techniques. The advantage of steaming is that the food
retains its natural smell, taste, form, juices, color and also retain most of it’s
micro nutrients, vitamins, proteins and fibre. Steaming is a healthier option
as it requires less cooking oil, in result good in weight control and prevent
from diseases.

 

Steam it is an engineered revolutionary
product with features for safe & hygienic cooking. It has two steam vents
on the cover which uplift the steam away from the handle for safety. The lid is
dome shaped to drain the water to its side so food does not become soggy. For more

Kozhukkattai or
kozhukatta is a popular south Indian sweet or savory dumpling which generally
made from rice flour with filling of coconut and jaggery. But this time I made
kozhukkattai with semolina as savory dumpling and then steam it in Tupperware steamer.
For this recipe, you can use leftover upma too. I made this upma kozhukkattai
or semolina kozhukkattai with semolina, carrots and onion. You can add an
vegetables which are easily available in your kitchen or market makes this dish
more colorful and enhance the taste. You can serve dumplings with coconut
chutney or green chutney which you prefer.
