Amini Kozhukattai

In our family more than the usual kozhukattai's, people throng for the amini kozhukattai. In olden days people used to prepare the kozhukattai's and if there's dough remaining, they used it to make the amini kozhukattai's, but now my MIL had to make sure she has enough dough for the amini. Once its prepared its the first thing to get emptied. Such is the craze.
