Munthiri Koththu
aka Sitturundai

Ingredients 1

Roasted green gram flour (paasipayir maavu) - 500 gm
Roasted coconut flakes or Desicated coconut - 50 gm
Vellam / Brown sugar - 250 gm
Water - 2 glasses
Elakkaa/sukku - ground finely

Ingredients 2

Rice flour - 1 portion
Corn flour - 1/4 portion
Salt to taste
Yellow colouring

Method

Make syrum with vellam/sugar and water. Drain out particles.
Add elakkaa, sukku, coconut and sprinkle green gram flour (We use salladai)
Use low flame.
If necessary add hot water.
Paste is ready when it is like raw adhirasam dough. Roll using your fingers to determine this. You should get a smooth ball.
After it has cooled, make marble like balls.

Next mix rice flour, corn flour, salt with water and add colouring. Consistency should be that as for aappam (Malaysian appam).

Now take three of the above marble shaped balls and coat with the batter and deep fry.

Your munthiri koththu is ready!
