Kugan... Will try your pakoda tomoro. Guest time.
I made venthaya kuzhambu recently and would like to share the method.
VENTHAYA / VATHAL KUZHAMBU
Dry fry 1 tbsb thuvaram paruppu and 1 tsp venthayam and grind. (fry till you get the smell of the paruppu)
In kadai pour oil, add mustard, few venthyams, green chillies slit, turmeric powder and perungayam. (Then add some manathakali vathal. This is optional. You can do just plain venthaya kuzhambu) - Add very little sambar powder - just for some flavour.
Pour tamrind juice and when it boils well, add the ground powder and salt. leave it for some time.
Use arisi mavu or cornflour for thickening if required.
Add curry leaves before you remove from stove.
Kugan / Dev - try pannittu corrections / alavu ezhudunga. Sorry - Not properly written.

Welcome back Superspiczy.
Here is the recipe.
STEAMED KOZHUKKATTAI
Ingredients:
1 cup pan fried broken green peas, boiled and mashed roughly.
1 cup brown sugar
cup grated coconut
2 tbs ghee
a pinch of cardamom powder
cup oil
2 cups rice flour
Method:
Fillings:
Melt the brown sugar with 2 tbs of water
Sieve for dirt. Boil again the syrup,
Add in the ghee, grated coconut, and the boiled green peas.
Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously.
Add in the cardamom powder.
It will thicken and start leaving the sides of the pan as you stir.
Remove and cool.
The Dough:
Heat 2 cups of water in a pan. When it starts bubbling,
Add the oil and the rice flour in a slow stream, stirring
Continuously. When all the water has evaporated and
The dough thickened.Remove and let it cool.
Knead the cooled dough nicely.
Grease the palm of your hand. Take a little dough
And shape it into a cup. Place enough fillings
In the middle of the cup, and shape it like a curry puff.
Do this to the rest of the dough.
Steam for about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
Note: You can even shape it like a ball, with a small
Cone on the top. It is called Modakams.

You can also do a savory puranam.
This recipe was given by my friend.
Ulutham pooranam:
1/2 cup urad dhal soaked for about an hour.
dry red chillies to taste.
salt to taste
asafoetida - a pinch.
grind all this like how u do for vadais. Steam it in the idli cooker until done. Get it to a powdery consistency. Heat oil in a pan, splutter mustard seeds and add curry leaves. Put this pooranam and stir for a minute. After it cools , u can fill it in to the modhakams and steam as usual.
