• Take small portion and keep it in your palm, and press slightly. Then the shape will come.
• Arrange in the steamer or idly plate.
• Steam cook for 10 mins, Now it is ready.

Notes

• After the dough is ready, keep covered to avoid drying
• If you use more jaggery than mentioned and less water, it wont get steamed properly how much ever time you cook it.
• Also do not let the jaggery for syrup stage as it will not let the flour cook and again it wont get cooked even after you steam for long time.
• Kolukattai turns shiny when it is cooked.
