If you feel it is too dry, you can sprinkle a little warm water+oil mixture and knead it to a smooth dough. Keep it covered with a damp cloth. After it cools, crumble it well.

Steam the ground dal (covered) for 15 minutes in an idly cooker or steamer. Heat 1 tsp of oil, add mustard seeds, when mustard seed splutters, add curry leaves and the steamed crumbled dal. Cook for 2-3 minutes and remove it from flame. Now we will make the Uppu Kozhukattai Note Always keep the rice flour dough covered with a damp cotton/muslin cloth to prevent it from drying.
