Sukhiyan

Sukhiyan is yet another tea time snack of Kerala. It is sweet balls made with green gram dipped in batter and deep fried. It is made somewhat like the bonda but it is a sweet version. This is a simple and easy recipe.

Ingredients

For the batter
Maida- 1 cup
Rava/sooji- 2 tsp
Baking powder- a pinch
salt- a pinch
Egg -1 (optional)
Water- 1 1/2 cup


Filling
Green Gram cooked- 1 1/2 cup
Grated coconut- 3/4 cup
Jaggery powdered- 1/2 cup
Cardamon powder- 1/2 tsp


To prepare the filling dissolve jaggery in half cup of water strain and remove impurities. Heat this liquid and reduce to one thread consistency. Add coconut and cooked green gram and cook till all water is evaporated and it leaves edges of the pan to become one mass. Add cardamon powder and allow to cool. Make small balls and keep aside.
Mix all the ingredients under batter to form a smooth batter ( Idli consistency). If you like a softer and crunchier outer crust you can add egg. Heat oil in a pan and dip these ball one by one and drop carefully into the oil and deep fry. Strain in paper towel and serve.
