Elephant wearing Nettippattom in the heart of city!

Well...this is not a real elephant but a life-size model!

I shot this in front of Penta Menaka, a popular shopping complex at Marine drive in Kochi. It looked real... amazing! An air pump was attached to it by which the trunk was moving.

'Nettippattom', an ornamental gold plated sacred caparison is worn over elephant's forehead during temple festivals in Kerala. Nowadays miniature versions of this beautiful caparison, you will see in cars and houses also. Being sacred it is thought to bring prosperity.

Serving as a gateway to Burj Khalifa, the tallest structure in the world and the Dubai fountain, this beautiful waterfalls is created inside the Dubai mall adjacent to many awesome restaurants.

It is about 24 meters in height with the water column traversing all the four floors with sculptures of divers made with fiberglass along the flow of direction of the water feature.

Kozhukkatta - rice flour dumplings filled with sweet jaggery

Today's post is about a yummy Kerala dish called Kozhukkatta.

This is very similar to dumplings. The outer thick shell covering is prepared using rice flour. Rice flour is mixed with hot water until it assumes a paste-like form to make the shell and filled with jaggery mixed with grated coconut. Then these dumplings are steamed in a steamer. That's it!

Jaggery is the unrefined, concentrated product of cane sugar. The color varies from dark to a golden brown. The Jaggery that we use (shown in the picture) was bought during a natural farming product sale conducted some time ago by Mr. Hilal at Kochi, a natural farming proponent in Kerala. They are cultivating many varieties of rice by natural, organic methods in Kerala.

Kozhukkatta is easy to prepare, one of my favorite dishes. It is a cool breakfast dish😊
Yummy!
