Neer urundai or neer Kozhukkattai is one of
the traditional kozhukkattai recipes we prepare. In our house it is mostly
prepared for evening snacks, and sometimes has it as dinner too. It is so easy
and healthy kozhukkattai.
Mostly we use rice flour to make
kozhukkattai. Here we have used raw rice to make the kozhukkatai batter. Yes.,
I have already posted the similar type of kozhukattai called as ‘Manikozhukkattai’. Both are almost similar, but vary in few ingredients and small
variation in the method too.
Instead of using rice, you can make the kozhukkattais using raw rice flour and can cook in the the boiling water.
Please check the other kozhukkattai recipes here in my log if you are interested.
It is my FIL’s favourite, two days back he
asked my MIL to prepare this kozhukkattai. So next day morning itself my mami
soaked the rice for this kozhukkatai. Then he asked me to post this neer
kozhukkattai video too in blog. Also he listed out few more traditional recipes
to post in my blogJ. So am sure you can see many authentic tamil recipes here in my
space in coming days, obviously many will be my mil’s specials J.
OK, now let’s move on to this recipe.

AUTHOR: KUZHALIS SAMAIYALARAI
RECIPE TYPE: SNACKS
CUISINE: SOUTH INDIAN
SERVES: 3 PERSONS
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup raw rice
½ cup grated coconut
Salt
to taste
Water
as required
To
temper
1
teaspoon oil
½
teaspoon mustard seeds
½
teaspoon urad dhal
1
or 2 red chillies
Few
curry leaves
PREPARATION:
Soak the rice in water for minimum 4
hours.
Then grind it into smooth paste along
with salt by adding very little water.
Add the grated coconut and mix well. The
batter should be so thick as much as possible.
METHOD:
In a sauce pan take around 2 or 2 ½ cups
of water and allow it to boil.
Once the water starts boiling, make
small amount of the prepared dough and drop them carefully into the boiling
water. The dough will sink into the water. Continuously add the balls into the
boiling water until the dough will be finished off
If it is too sticky, just wet your
hands and do.
(If the batter is runny in consistency,
please check the notes section for the tips.)
Stir carefully in between to avoid
sticking at the bottom.
The dumplings/kozhukkattais have to
cook in the water for minimum 15 minutes up to 20 minutes after finishing of all the batter .
Add hot water in between if required.
Once the kozhukkattais got cooked,
drain them from the water and keep them aside.
You can check one dumpling for the doneness,
before draining.
If the kozhukkattai is cooked it will
become shiny and you will feel it as little weightless. or just break it with hand and check the center is cooked well or not.
In this stage you can directly eat the
kozhukkattai or you can temper them and relish.
To temper the kozhukkattais, in a pan
add oil and then add the mustard seeds. Let them splutter. Then add the urad
dhal and broken red chillies. sauté till they roast well and starts changing
the colour.
Finally add the curry leaves and
kozhukattais. Saute for 1 or 2 minutes and then remove from the heat.
Serve hot as it is or with any spicy chutney
like onion tomato chutney.
NOTES:
- Don’t add more water to grind the batter.
- The batter should not too smooth or not too grainy, and should be thick as much as possible.
- If the batter becomes runny, then keep the batter in a white cloth and close it with the same cloth completely, till the excess water gets drained.
- You can make like smooth balls also like I did in my ‘Mani kozhukkattai’ recipe.
- But this way doesn’t needs to drain or sautéing in the pan and all. Just take small amount of batter and drop into the boiling water.
