Thengai paal kozhukattai(kuthiraivali recipe)Barnyard millet

Yes!!it is another type of kozhukattai that is habitually done during vinayaga chathurthi, but I have done it little bit different !!using kuthiraivali(banyard millet)As a sweet crazy lady I love this kuthiraivali paal kozhukattai recipe that has become one under my never ending recipe list.There is no compromise in taste with this gluten free kuthiraivali thengai paal  kozhukattai recipe! it is even better than the usuall paal kozhukattai.Instead of coconut milk extract can use coconut milk powder!but homemade coconut milk is always fresh and tasty than the preserved ready-made thing really!!The first thick extract of the coconut is added at the end of the recipe after switching off the stove.Let’s dive into the kuthiraivali thengai paal kozhukattai recipe.
