A few tips to make delicious coconut poornam kozhukattai

  • The puran is better with the young and fresh coconut.
  • You can add jaggery to your taste.
  • If the filling starts to get a bit thick on the stove, turn it off since if it cools, it will likely solidify much more.
  • A tablespoon of ghee can be added at the very end of the poornam if preferred.
  • You can use kozhukattai flour or idiyappam flour.
  • Use rice flour only after frying if using.
  • Kozhukattai is hot when it has finished boiling, so wait a little while before removing it from the dish. Otherwise, it might break.
