Kadalai Paruppu Poornam One of the classic varieties of kozhukattai that is frequently made in Tamil Nadu rather than South India is Kadalai Paruppu Poornam. Rice flour is used to make a delectable kozhukattai, and chana dal, coconut, and jaggery are used to make the filling. Although coconut and jaggery filling is widely used, chana dal poornam has a distinctive flavour and is frequently used in suzhiyam and poli.


A few tips to make a delicious paruppu poorna kozhukattai

  • To make chana dal soft, soak it for between a half-hour and three hours.
  • The lentils cook more evenly and more softly in a pressure cooker than they do on a pan.
  • The chana dal can be finely ground either by adding them to a mixer or using a spatula or mathu (masher).
  • Jaggery can be added to suit your preferences.
  • When the poornam begins to thicken a bit, turn off the stove. If kept until thick and dry, it hardens when cooled.
  • You can use kozhukattai flour or idiyappam flour.
  • Use rice flour just after frying if using.
  • Do not remove the hot, cooked kozhukattai from the platter until they have cooled a little.
