Steamed Sweet Rice Kozhukattai / Ammini kozhukattai

Steamed Sweet Rice Kozhukkata
Ingredients:
1 cup raw rice soaked
½ cup brown sugar dissolved and strained
2 tbs thinly sliced fresh coconut
1/3 cup ghee
½ tsp cardamom powder

Method:
In a blender grind the rice along with brown sugar,
With just enough water to form a thick batter.
Toast the coconut in a tsp of ghee. Keep aside.
Combine the rice batter and the rest of the ghee
In a non-stick pan, and cook the mixture over a medium
Heat, stirring all the time.
As the mixture thickens, add the sliced coconut
And cardamom powder.
Keep on stirring till the mixture has cooked down to a dough.
Remove from stove and let it cool.
Shape the cooked dough and steam it for about 20 minutes.

NOTE: In my family this kozhukkata is made by the athai, when the
Child has has the first tooth.
The child is made to sit on a decorated stool and the kozhukkata
Is showered on the head of the child. Elders and children
Pick up the kozhukkata and there is much fun in the house.
