Notes
1. Do not over steam this kozhukattais as it will turn hard and chewy.
2. Instead of Idli Milagai Podi you can add redchilli powder while kneading the dough and make balls. the rest of the procedure is same.
3. You can add pepper powder to the seasoning and make it as pepper ammini kozhukattai.
4. Thengai molagapodi can be added and in that case, you can skip the coconut.
5. Alternatively while tempering mustard seeds chopped green chilies or red chilies can be added to give spicyness to the ammini kozhukattais.
