Ammini kozhukkattai
Ammini kozhukkattai is usually made out of the left over dough of the kozhukkattai during Vinayagar chathurthi. Along with paruppu usili it takes delicious. It is simple, easy and healthy snack. Every kid likes this recipe because of its tiny and cute appearance. It can be made in different ways. I am going to make ammini kozhukkattai with paruppu usili. Paruppu usili is a traditional south Indian recipe. It can be mixed with koththavarangai, vazhaipoo, beans instead of ground coconut.

A different twist using paruppu usili. Have tried and tasted the ulundhu usili ammini kk till date . this sure is a new thing for me
Thank you Priya..
I often make this and it is tasty. Adding of paruppu usili is something new to me, good to know that.
Thank you
Reading your post My tummy is growling. Such a delicious yet satisfyingly simple dish. My daughters will like this.
Thank you so much Archana ji… Happy to know that. Do give it a try. They will love it.
Niranjana, I’m a huge fan of ammini kozhukkatai ever since I tasted it for the first time at a fair we had in our apartment complex. Since then learnt how to make it. However, every time I’ve made it I just do a simple tempering of curry leaves and urad dal or add idli podi. Yours with paruppu usili looks so tempting and surely going to try it.
Thank you so much di 🙂 With paruppu usili it tastes really great. I believe you will like it di 🙂
This ammini kozhukattai is kind of my childhood favourite…I always used to be fascinated with these small balls!! I’m sure with paruppu usili, it must have tasted great!!
Thank you so much. And yes, it’s my fav too from my childhood days. Even now when I go to my mom’s place my amma and paati makes this for me.
We love ammini kozhukattai! Those cute lil balls, i make extra modak flour just to make this in the evening! Adding paruppususli to it sounds very tempting!!!
Thank you so much.
