Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Firstly: Add in a mixing bowl all the measured required ingredients for it & mix everything well together until nicely combined and well blended with the help of a spatula initially & then, with your hands- knead it to a smooth, pliable dough- Cover & set aside for about 10-15 mins time

* Step 2

Next, in a blender jar: Add in all the ingredients for the coconut mixture and blend it coarsely to form a nice whitish-greenish mixture- Set Aside for its later use in the cooking process further

* Step 3

Now, apply some oil in your hands, generously…Uncover the kneaded dough post the given time & dividing it into small bite sized pieces and then, taking them into your hands & roll them out into small Roundels- Do the same, with all until the dough is over…

* Step 4

Heat up an Idli, Momos or any kinda Steamer as such & adding in some water to it- let it come to a rolling boil…Now, grease the steaming plate and place the small Mani Kozhukattais in it and then, place it back in the steamer, cover & allow it to steam cook for about 10 mins time

* Step 5

Once that’s done Transfer them into a separate plate and start on with the process of tempering the same: Heat up a frying pan over the medium-high flame- Add in the tempering/seasoning spices, etc. to it & allow it to splutter & turn aromatic…

* Step 6

In goes now, the Coconut Mixture, sauté until it’s just lightly browned (ensure not to brown it completely at all), throw in the prepared Kozhukattais into it- Give it all a really good mix until nicely combined and well blended & nicely incorporated, Cook for another a couple of mins or so…

* Step 7

Heat goes off- Transfer them to the serving plate/bowl/platter…Garnish it your way & it’s now the TIME, to offer it to the LORD & then…ENJOY…all by ourselves
