Kozhukattai

is a popular South Indian (especially in TamilNadu) dumpling made from rice flour, with a filling of grated coconut, jaggery, or chakkarai. Kozhukattai, although usually sweet, can sometimes be stuffed with a savory filling. The dish is traditionally associated with the Hindu God Ganesha and is prepared as an offering (naivedhya) on the occasion of Vinayaka Chathurthi.
