Paal Kozhukattai without milk:

I will not suggest this version because the traditional paal kozhukattai which make for vinayagar chaturthi includes coconut. We can also make without adding coconut also but taste won’t be the same.

Check few paal sweets like paal payasam,paal sarbath,paal pongal,paal kesari.

Happy Vinayagar chaturthi to all !!!
