Poha/ flattened rice/ Aval is always easy to cook and we can prepare any dish very quickly with is. Last week tried Kozhukattai using poha and it turned good. Kozhukattai is very famous dish; we use to do this for Vinayagar chadhurthi. There are different versions stuffing once, plain, sweet etc.

2. Heat oil in a pan, When its hot add asafetida, mustard seeds after it splutter add chili and urad dal, fry for few seconds. Add water and add enough salt.
3. When the water starts to boil add powdered poha and mix well. In this stage mix coconut and turn off the stove (it will take 2 -3 minutes).
