Ganesh Chaturthi is very famous in all over India. We all believes that Kolukattai is the favourite snack of Lord Ganesh. It is not only favourite for god but also for all age people. Channa Dal Pooranam Kolukattai is very tasty and yummy snack for Ganesh Chaturthi.

Ingredients
  • Rice Flour - 1 Cup
  • Sesame Oil - 1 tsp
  • Water - As needed
  • Salt - As needed
  • Grated Jaggery  - 1/2 cup
  • Channa Dal - 1 Cup
  • Grated Coconut - 1/4 Cup
  • Cardamon powder - 1 tsp

Method:
Step 1: Channa Dal Pooranam
  • Soak channa dal for 3 hrs, Pressure cook dal with water just to immerse it (Little less is also fine) up to 3-4 whistles.  Drain water if any, cool down.
  • Mash it with masher or with a blender,  just to make it a paste and keep aside. 
  • Heat a Pan, Add grated jaggery, Water just to immerse it, and when jaggery dissolves completely, filter it to remove impurities if any.
  • After filtering, In the same pan, Add mashed Dal, Grated coconut, Cardamon powder, Keep Stirring without forming any lumps.
  • Keep Stirring well till the mixture gets thick starts leaving the sides of the vessel. Switch off.
Step 2: Inipu Kolukattai 
  • Boil water with oil, salt (as needed), Take the flour in a broad vessel. Add the boiling water little by little and mix with the help of a ladle.
  • Allow it to cool for 5 mins, knead with your hands to make a smooth dough.The consistency should be like chapatti dough.
  • Make small lemon sized balls with the dough.For each step grease your hands with sesame oil.
  • Take a dough ball and start flattening the ball with your fingers around the sides 
  • Then continue towards the centre of the ball so that you make a bowl shape, fill stuffing in it. 
  • Gather all the sides and pinch together in the middle and make a mothagam shape
  • Now follow the same and make the rest of dough. After that arrange it in a idly plate or steamer cook for 10 mins.
  • Now it is ready, Serve hot..
Notes
  • Water we are adding in jaggery should be very less.The lesser we add water to jaggery, sooner the stuffing will get ready.
  • The another way of making Pooranam is - Add the grated jaggery, grated coconut, Cardamon powder, Mashed Channa Dal in a mixing bowl, And Mash it altogether with a spoon or fork, Now the pooranam is ready. You can do this when your jaggery is not having any impurities.
  • Keep the dough always closed and try to finish making the kolukattais as soon as possible as keeping for long time may lead to cracking/dry kolukattais.
  • Boil water well,the dough should get cooked 3/4th,then only the dough will be not sticky and also soft after cooking.
