Varagu arisi upma kozhukattai is a steamed dumpling made with kodo millet. Millets are high in fiber and minerals. You can serve them for breakfast or as a snack. I made these delicious dumplings for breakfast today and my family loved it.
You can watch this quick video to make this breakfast too. I have used baryard millet rice in this video but you can easily replace it with kodo millet.
Arisi upma kozhukattai is usually made with broken raw rice. Now you can make it with kodo millet rice which is a healthier option. I have served these Varagu Arisi pidi Kozhukattai with tomato chutney. So, sharing a detailed recipe and wish you all a great week ahead.
