To prepare the kozhukattai flour, bring water to boil along with ½tsp sesame oil and salt.
As the water comes to a rolling boil, switch off the flame and add rice flour.
Quickly stir it without any lumps. Add ½ teaspoon sesame oil and keep it covered for 5 mins.
Once warm enough to handle, knead it into soft, smooth dough.
Pinch small pieces of dough and roll them into small balls of equal size between your palms.
Repeat this with rest of the dough.
To steam the kozhukattai, grease idli plate and place the prepared kozhukattai without overcrowding. Steam cook for 5-6 mins and after 2 mins, remove from the idli plate.
Meanwhile, heat a pan with 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, dried red chilli and as they splutter, add asafoetida and fresh curry leaves.
Add prepared ammini kozhukattai. Stir fry for a minute on low flame.
Now add chutney powder and grated coconut. Salt is optional as we have added it while cooking rice flour.
