Thanni kozhukkattai is one of the popular traditional breakfast dish from Kerala. Rice and coconut are the main ingredient for making this kozhukkattai. We have to grind the rice and coconut and cook the kozhukkattai in hot water. This water is very tasty to drink and has lot of health benifits also. I learnt this recipe from my grand ma. We can make this kozhukkattai with brown rice or mix of matta rice and idly rice. I used idly rice alone to make this .
