Ammini kozhukattai / Undrallu Gugillu

Ammini kozhukattai is a savoury mini rice balls tempered with mild spices. It is called ammini kozhukattai in Tamilnadu and Undrallu gugillu in Andhra Pradesh. It can be prepared in both sweet and spicy version. Today I tried spicy version, this can be prepared during festival days especially on Vinayagar Chathurthi. This is very healthy since it is cooked by steaming.
