Javvarisi kozhukattai is really easy and delicious kozhukattai with sago (Tapioca pearls/ Sabudana), stuffed with a simple coconut, sugar and cashew nut mixture. This was a recipe shared by one of my classmate friend and I had no idea, how it would look or taste. My friend Roselin shared this as a rough recipe. So I googled to find this video same as what she told. So I confidently tried and it came out perfect! She asked me to try with more smaller sago, but I had only black pepper sized sago with me. She suggested me to run it in mixer once. I did the same, so if you have chance to get smaller sago, no need to pulse the sago, just make it as such. I liked it’s texture and looks a lot. It was soft, wobbly, shiny and transparent with a pearly look. Vj too loved this too. I am sure this can be an wonderful snack too.

Rice flour – 2 tbsp

Coconut, grated – ½ cup
Sugar – 2-3 tbsp

Method
- Mix coconut, cashew, sugar, cardamom. Stuffing ready.
- Soak sago for 2 hrs minimum. Drain water completely. Transfer to a mixer and give it a pulse. Just for few seconds.
- Transfer to the bowl, add rice flour, salt and sprinkle little hot water to make a dough.
- Make 7 equal sized balls out of it .Carefully make a bowl shape.
- Stuff 2 tsp of the filling we prepared. Seal properly and shape to balls.
- Place over a greased idli plate or steamer and steam cook for 12- 15 mins. Or until completely glossy.
Notes
- If using smaller sago, no need to grind it.
- While grinding, no need to grind for long time to break the sago. Just once if you run, it will be enough to bind it together.
Enjoy the beautiful kozhukakttais warm. It stays soft even after cooling down. Great tea time snack too.

Hi Raks, i tried this today but my sago was sticky after grinding,maybe too much soaked in water?so i added more idiyappam podi flour and make still it was soft!nice recipes, andvery tasty looking!
Yes
I have used nylon javvarisi, you would have used the other variety, which usually dissolves in water if soaked. I guess no need to grind for such sago. Just use as such.
So yummy to look & it tempted me more. Thanks raks keep sharing such lovely receips
