Add all the ingredients for the spice powder except the coconut, coriander and asafoetida  in the instant pot and roast it in saute mode until the lentil turns golden brown. Set it aside.

Now add the coconut, coriander leaves and roast it until the coconut starts turning golden.

Now add the roasted ingredients, asafoetida and grind it a coarse powder.

Add water (3/4 cup) to the instant pot, oil and close the pressure cooker lid. (Clean the IP before you add the water. You dont want the kozhukattais to have a different color)

Let it cook in manual high for 2 minutes.

Now release pressure immediately and add the salt necessary for the dough and add the rice flour immediately whisking it continuously as you are adding it.

It will come together pretty quickly.

Now transfer it to a bowl and cover it with a wet cloth so that it doesnt try out.

When the dough is somewhat warm enough to handle, apply some sesame oil in your hands and make it to a smooth dough. Cover it again with wet cloth until you use it or make small balls out of it and set it aside.

Now place the rolled balls in a idli pan or steamer basket and steam it for 8 minutes in your IP. I add 1 cup water to the inner vessel of my IP and place my idli pan inside the inner pot to steam my kozhukkatais.

Now heat a pan (alternatively discard the water used for steaming and switch on the saute mode.)

Add 1/2 tsp oil, add the steamed balls, ground spice powder, salt as needed and give everything a mix.

Serve it as a snack or offer it as a prasad! :)
