• If you are using store bought idiyappam flour, then you can use it directly in the recipe. 

• If you are using rice flour, then fry it in dry pan for three minutes before using in the recipe as shown above.

• You can make jaggery syrup in stove top or in microwave. (If making in microwave, check it every 30 seconds)

• Always have 1/2 cup boiling water in the side while forming the dough. If you feel dough needs more water, use boiling water. Do not use normal water to knead dough. 

• Dough should be soft and little sticky.

• You can add 1 tbsp of shredded coconut to the flour. You can also use palm jaggery instead of jaggery in this recipe. You can see Karupatti Pidi Kozhukattai recipe here . Check this link for other Kozhukattai recipe.
