A fun-looking recipe to introduce red rice for kids. It is not just higher in fibre but has a lot of anti-oxidants called anthocyanins compared to the regular white rice we eat. So it’s great to use them at least once in a while in a few innovative recipes like these.
Its fancy name is dumplings, but its traditional name is “kozhukattai”, a steamed healthy meal made in various fun shapes, prepared within 20 minutes.

- Soaked Red Rice – 1 Cup
- Urad Dal – 1 Tsp
- Salt to taste
- Red Chilli – 1
- Hing (optional)
