jaggery

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is a natural sweetener, while brown sugar is more affordable.

coconut

🥗Healthier: desiccated coconut

💰Cheaper: coconut milk

Desiccated coconut retains flavor with lower cost.

rice flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds nutrition, while all-purpose is budget-friendly.

Mix rice flour and salt in a bowl.

Add water gradually until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth and pliable.

Prepare the filling by mixing grated coconut, jaggery, and cardamom in a separate bowl.

Take a small portion of dough and flatten it in your palm.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of the flattened dough.

Fold the edges over the filling to seal it, shaping it into a ball or dumpling.

Wrap each dumpling in a piece of banana leaf or place in a steamer tray.

Steam the kolukattai for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

Remove from steamer and let cool slightly before serving.
