Hello kavitha,
What I meant was to cover the vanali with a bigger plate for the first 2 secs to make sure that the seedai does not explode. After that, remove the plate. Did not mean to close throughout the process!!
If you are still not satisfied, you dont have to close the vanali. Instead, clean the ellu thoroughly and sieve the flour. Becoz for a cup of flour, hardly, we take 1/2 sp of ellu; hence, it is easy for you to clean everything.
Bye.

Also,i shud stir the rice flour in the boiling water after its taken off the stove?
Regarding seedai please do take ur time..No hurry..Iam wondering if u add jeera do u remove its tails?What does cleaning the ellu means?
Last question,please bear with me..Wat is karamani in english or hindi?And ellu is sesame right?Which one i shud get ?Black or white?For making the ellu podi also..

No need to remove the tails of jeera. Cleaning means removing the stone or any dirt from jeera or ellu which is the reason for exploding.
Since I dont see black ellu(yes, it is sesame), use white ellu. Anything shd be fine, guess.
Urad kozhukattai is to grind red chillies, green chillies(each 1), urad 3 tbsp, salt coarsely. Squeeze lemon juice on the paste and do seasoning with oil, if you want.
Chowly/lobia is the hindi name & black eyed beans is the english name for kaaramani.
For kozhukattai, yes, you have to stir the flour after switching off the stove; then only, you will get the kneaded ball dough.
To differentiate between the pooranams, you can make round shape with dal poornam, boat shape for ellu & urad pooranam and finally, our usual (nose shaped) coconut pooranam.

Thanx for replying R.Yes i remember boat shaped kozhukkatai and nose kozhukattai..That was a good idea to differentate..U haven't told me whether ur poornam ingredients are the same as Mrs.Mano..
When i asked for chowly in the grocery shop today they seemed confused..Next time i will try with "Black eyed beans"..I also got Sphagetti today to make ur Pasta dishes..
Abt Urad kozhukattai wat to do with the paste?The quantity seems so small..Its called uppu kozhukattai right?and i remember it will be big and rough fa kaila pidicha mari irukum(Upma color).Is that the one u are talking about?Please clarify me..
Thanx.

Yes, gvb..saw Mrs.Mano's recipes and the poornam recipes are same. In fact, tried only one time her dough method and it came out nicely too.
Definitely, if you ask the grocery shop for black eyed beans, they might not be aware becoz they know hindi very well than English and it is quite a common word. Even, in the cover it says the same or ask for LOBIA. You can look where you find channa, peas etc.
My paati use to make kaara kozhukattai on vinayaka chathurthi. But, by the time we are done with these varieties, would be so exhausted. One more kozhukattai called pidi kozhukattai; but, the procedure is little lengthy since have to take rice rava from the rice etc.
Abt. urad kozhukattai, sorry..did not write clearly since I was in a hurry to take my son to the class. Here it is-
Urad poornam(salt kozhukattai):
Take half a cup of urad dal and soak for an hr. in water. Drain the water and grind with 1 no. of green and red chillies, salt and hing coarsely. Steam them on the idly plates for 5 mts. Once cold, separate them; season in oil with mustard, grated coconut and curry leaves. Mix well and squeeze lemon juice.
Now, take 1 spoon or so to stuff in the kozhukattai dough which is more than enough. though the qty looks like very less, we cant take like other sweets. So, the said qty is enough becoz I see my family concentrates more on all three kozhukattais than the urad one!!
Yes, the color will be same and udhir udhira irukkum. YOu cant hold it in yr hand, just have to take in the spoon only.

Hi R ,
Thanx for giving such a detailed reply..I remember seeing "Lobia" i think..will check it out next time..I think Pidi kozhukattai was the one i talked about..Got it confused with uppu...Kara kozhukattai is that small balls made with rice flour and chilli powder right?I love them..
Do i have to grind the uraddhal with little water or no water?Am sorry for asking the most basic of questions its just that i want to get it right..
That was a great job giving all the recipes posted so far with page numbers..U have been very helpful and i thank you for that..
Looking forward to ur seedai recipe..I will try it b4 this weekend..Please do take ur time..
