Kolkukattai

Kolukattai is sweet. Made up of jaggery and coconut. There are various types of filling for this and also different versions too in different parts of india. Like Modak, Kolukattai and Kadabu etc., Most of these versions are very popular in India and made on the festival of "Ganesha Chathurthi". After puja this is offered as prasadam.
There are also a savory (salted and spicy) version of this called Khara kolukattai and another called Kadabu (Deep Fried) which has a filling of Sugar & Dried Cocnut (kobri sakare). I have already posted this in my blog.
