Wishing you all a Happy Ganesh Chathurthi, hope you guys are very much busy in preparing this wonderful festival with many delicious dishes, seriously am missing those days in India..Eventhough its working day here, we wont skip this festival at any cost as Ganesh is my favourite god...Coming to this sweet kozhukattais, i prepared them using quinoa and rice together eventhough i dont have any idea about the final result, but i was very much happy to see my creation turned out super prefect,addictive and highly delicious..Quite a healthy kozhukattais to offer as prasadam to Lord Ganesh...This sweet kozhukattais tastes and ressembles exactly like our usual kozhukattais, quinoa in this dumplings didnt changed the taste and turned this kozhukattais super prefect...I couldnt stopped myself having them,yep they are quite addictive..My teddies helped me to make these cute looking balls, i dont want to change their shape as my mini chefs helped a lot for making them, you can very well prepare them as pidi kozhukattais..
