Tricolor Oats Ammini Kozhukattai is a slight variation to the traditional recipe of Ammini Kozhukattai. This is a famous snack item from Southern India. In Andhra, it goes by the name Undrallu Guggillu or Talimpu Undrallu and the Kannadiga name for the same is seke undlaka.

Traditionally, rice flour is the main ingredient for these kozhukattai. For some variation, I have tried to create it in three different colors to celebrate the Indian independence day which is in this week-Aug 15th.

Also, to add to the nutrition quotient, equal quantity of oat flour has been added for this Oats Ammini Kozhukattai recipe.

It is customary to make Ammini Kozhukattai during Ganesh Chaturthi when you have leftover dough from regular modak or kozhukattai. But you can make this delicious and guilt free snack anytime of the year. The best part is that it requires very few ingredients.

Hope you will definitely give this recipe a try and leave your comment.
