Ingredients:
- Channa Dhal- 1/2 cup
- Jaggery- 1/2 cup
- Rice flour- 1 cup
Procedure:
1. Pressure cook channa dhal
for 3 whistles. Allow pressure to release. Dhal should be cooked well. Break
jaggery into small pieces and add jaggery to the cooked channa dhal. Put it in
a blender and grind it into paste. Do not add water as the jaggery once mixed
will itself give out some water with the warmth of channa dhal.
2.
Heat a pan, add channa jaggery paste to it. Saute for few minutes in low flame.
Keep stirring slowly until it reaches a firm consistency. It should neither be
too hard nor too soft or watery. This is used as poornam or stuffing for making
kolukattai.

to make the desired shape.
5.
Repeat this to make all kolukaatai and cook in idly pan. Tasty poorna kolkattai
