Ingredients:
4 cups rice flour
1/2 cup Sago flour
5 green chillies
1/2 tsp hing
1 tsp jeera
1 lemon
1 and 1/2 tsp salt
3 cups waterMethod:

Grind the green chilies and jeera with little water.Then heat the pan add the grinded chilly paste,let it to boil and then add water and salt ,let it to boil.

Mix sago flour and rice flour and sieve it before use.Once water boiled well add in the rice and sago flour slowly little by little ,keep starring. Make sure the lumps should not formed. Keep staring it once it become thick stop the stove.Finely add the lemon juice and let it cool for some time.

Now drop the flour into the murukku press and press it over a cloth or on a plastic sheet. Keep it in hot sun evening take it out the same day and keep it in the plate.Next day keep that again in the hot sun , repeat this for three days or till it dry completely.Once it becomes dry change it into air tight container ,you can keep it for an year also.
Fry it in oil and serve.

My Notes:

The amount of water depends on the quality of rice and sago,so keep in reserve some hot water. If the prepared batter is too thick then add the hot water and mix it well.
Adding lemon juice give the koozh tangy taste,after cooling ..
Instead of rice flour the raw rice can be soaked and grind it to a paste and used.
If you are using cotton cloth for squeezing,sprinkle water to remove the dried vadams from the cloth for easy removal and dry it completely.
While squeezing if you find it is very hard to do then take the flour out and then add little hot water mix again.Then fill it in murukku press and press it.

I love to have it with Variety Rice,do try them at home and enjoy your meal.
