Kozhukkatta

(Kozhukattai, कोझुकट्टा, കൊഴുക്കട്ട, கொழுக்கட்டை)

Kozhukkatta is the name for Indian rice flour dumplings filled with jaggery and coconut. The dumplings are steamed and then usually served for breakfast, or consumed as a snack, when they are accompanied by tea on the side. In some cases, cooks like to add cardamom or ghee to the filling.


In Kerala, these dumplings are closely tied to Oshana Sunday celebrations, while in Tamil Nadu, kozhukkatta is associated with the elephant-faced god, Lord Ganesh, and it is prepared as an offering to receive his blessings for science, arts, and knowledge.
