Very simple to make

Ingredients:-
Sugar - 1/2 or 3/4 cup (according to your taste)
Kesari colour - a pinch
Half coconut - grated 
Cardamon - 4 (powdered)
Water - little to melt sugar
Ghee - 1 tbsp

Preparation method:-
In a heavy bottom pan add, sugar, keasri powder, water and melt. When the sugar syrup is stick add the grated coconut, powdered cardamon and mix well.
When almost the water content is gone it will become thick. Transfer to a bowl and cool it.
The pooranam will become even thick and tight as it cool so take care.


Making of kozhukattai with sugar pooranam filling
For making of kozhukattai flour refer making of idiyappam/kozhukattai . When the kozhukattai flour is made cover with a wet cloth so that the flour won't become dry or break when the kozhukattai is made.

Ingredients:-
Sesame oil - little to make kozhukattai

Preparation of method kozhukattai:-
Apply little oil in your hand and make small balls using the flour.
In a clean and dry plantain leaf (keep shiny portion of the leaf up) apply little oil so the kozhukattai won't stick to the leaf. If you don't have plantain leaf use some thick silver foil of plastic sheet.
Place the kozhukattai flour ball and flatten to thin circle. Keep one tsp of sugar pooranam in the middle of the circle and cover the pooranam. Now it will become a semi circle like protector and close the edge well so the pooranam won't come out.
Boil water in the idli cooker . In the idli plate apply the sesame oil and place all the kozhukattai you made separately (so it won't stick with one another when cooked).
When water in idli maker boils keep the idli plates inside and close. It will take 5 to 10 mins to cook. When cooked the kozhukattai outer flour will become slightly transparent and shiny/glossy.
Leave it to cool and remove from the idli plate very carefully because it will be very soft and will break very easily.
You can try different shape . Don't worry even it it break's first time it will come out well in next set or next time. The main thing is taste which will be very excellent for sure.
Enjoy your tasty coconut, sugar pooranam kozhukattaiwith your friends and family. If you open the saffron colour pooranam will look gorgeous.
