Kozhukattai with kadalai paruppu pooranam – Modakam with kadalai paruppu poornam- recipe with step-step pictures.

Kozhukattai | modakam we generally make with Thengai pooranam which I have posted earlier here and also we make for Ganesha chaturthi|Vinayagar Chaturthi . I have never tried kozhukattai with channa dal | kadalai paruppu poornam. My mom is here for a week and a few days back I learned the kadalai parrupu poli recipe from her. Recipe for poli I wanted to make kozhukattai with the same stuffing. so today being the first Friday of the Tamil month Aadi I thought I will make Kozhukattai with kadalai paruppu poornam and made it and did neivedhyam too. And above all, Mom told me that I have made perfect Modakams. Here is the recipe for kozhukattai with kadalai paruppu poornam.
