It was really tasting great to my surprise. I guess this is an age old traditional recipe forgotten these days. I am not sure, but I have not seen this else where in the internet.

Ingredients

wheat flour /Atta – 1/2 cup

Salt – as needed

Sugar – 3 tbsp

Coconut – 1/2 cup

Honey – 1 tbsp

Cardamom – 1

Raisins- 5

Cashew nuts- 5

Ghee – 1 tsp

Method

Roast cashews golden in a tsp of ghee. Fry raisin in the same ghee until it bloats. Keep aside. Extract thick coconut milk by grinding the coconut with 1/4 cup warm water. Squeeze and filter through a metal strainer to collect the milk.

In a mixing bowl, add flour, salt and mix well. Add water little by little and make a stiff dough. Keep aside for 10 mins. Knead again and make it smooth dough. Divide into two equal sized balls.

2-Dough

Dust well and roll into roti, not too thin, it can be slightly thick. Not like a paratha too.

4-roll

Sprinkle some more flour and dust both sides well. I use maida for this. You can use wheat flour too. Using a knife or a cutter like somasi spoon or a pizza cutter, cut into fine strips. And then into tiny pieces.

5-cut

Carefully transfer to a bowl and repeat to finish the other one too. These cut pieces should not be sticking to each other, so make the dough that stiff and dust well.

6-cut

Boil 1 & 1/4 cup water in a heavy bottomed vessel and add the cut pieces, half at a time. Carefully mix so that all the pieces are separate. It will take some 3-4 minutes to get cooked. Make sure it does not stick to the bottom of the pan.

7-boil

Add sugar and mix. Bring to boil.

8-sugar

Put the flame to low and add coconut milk extract, cardamom, fried cashew, raisins. Switch off the flame and mix.

9-add

Once warm, add honey and mix .

Notes

You can cut as tiny as possible for a pretty look.
Add honey lastly only when it is warm.
After adding coconut milk, do not boil in high flame.
If the dough is sticky, the kozhukattais will stick together, so make sure to make a stiff dough.
You can add a pinch of saffron. The original recipe asked to add kesar colour, but I did not add. If you want, you can add.
You can add jaggery in place of sugar. I have used unrefined sugar.

Serve warm. A delicious dessert or even you can offer to God.
