Paal Kozhukattai is a traditional South Indian dessert made from rice flour dumplings simmered in sweetened milk, often flavored with cardamom and garnished with coconut or cashews. Originating from Tamil Nadu, this festive delicacy is typically served during special occasions and celebrations. The dish is naturally gluten-free, with rice flour serving as the primary ingredient. The milk provides calcium, while aromatic spices like cardamom offer antioxidants and digestive benefits. Traditionally prepared with sugar, it can be high in calories if consumed in excess. For a healthier twist, natural sweeteners like jaggery or palm sugar can be used to reduce the refined sugar content. Paal Kozhukattai is cherished for its comforting texture, creamy sweetness, and cultural significance but is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
