Uppu Kozhukattai is a traditional and healthy snack in Chettinadu, authentic name is "Aati Kindi Kuzhakattai". My Mother-in-law says that they usually prepare this kozhukattai while watching Sunday cinema in Doordharshan, serve to neighbors as well who come and watch movie in their house. It's a good idea to prepare this Kozhukattai while grinding Idli batter, if you add one more cup Idli Rice extra, u can use that to make Uppu Kozhukattai for evening snack. Kids will love it and healthy too as it is steamed item. Its too good for older generation too and easy for digestion.
