1. Kozkhukatta is a popular Indian sweet dumpling made from rice flour,
grated coconut and jaggery, and is similar to Modak made in other parts of India.
This gourmet food recipe is popularly associated with Lord Ganesh and Ganesh
Chaturti celebrations in South India. The dish is also a part of the
traditional Nasrani cuisine of the Syrian Christians of the state of Kerala.
It is typically prepared on special occasions, and involves significant
preparatory work, usually involving the entire family. Thennai kozhakatta is made
of the same ingredients as kozhakattai, but is prepared by inserting into young
palm leaves.
