Kara Mani Kozhukattai / Ammini Kozhukattai

August 29, 2016 By Priya Shiva 17 Comments

Print Recipe

Ammini Kozhukattai or Kara mani kozhukattai is a dish which is usually prepared for Ganesh Chaturthi. It is also served as breakfast in Tamil Nadu with coconut chutney and my family loves it. My little boy calls it white snow balls and always gets fascinated with it. Mani means beads and these kozhukattais do look like small beads :)..These mani kozhukattai are also known as undrallu guggillu in Andhra Pradesh.

I have already shared a recipe for Thengai Poorna kozhukattai. They are specially made for Ganesh Chaturthi. So, sharing the recipe for Ammini Kozhukattai today and I hope you enjoy making it for this Ganesh Chaturthi. They are healthy and delicious too.
