Susiyam/Sugiyan

             Susiyam can be made by using channa dal, red gram, green gram etc... Here in this recipe i am using whole green gram which is also called as payatham parupu/pasi payaru. It is a healthy snack for the children.

Ingredients:

·        Whole Green Gram – 1 cup

·        Jaggery(Vellam) – ½ cup (powdered)

·        Cardamom -4(powdered)

·        Coconut – ½ cup(grated)

·        Cashew nuts – 5 -6 nos

·        Ghee- 1 tsp

·        All Purpose Flour -1 cup

·        Salt – 1 tsp

·        Oil – as needed for deep frying

Method:

·        Wash and soak green gram for 2 hours and drain it.

·        Pressure cook the green gram by adding water and a pinch of salt. Allow it for 2 whistles.

·        Drain the excess water and heat it to evaporate the moisture and switch off the stove.

·        Smash the cooked green gram.

    
·    Put the grated coconut, jaggery, cardamom powder and mix well.
·        Roast the cashew nuts in ghee and pour it in the mixture.

·        Make round balls from the mixture using hands(grease your hands with oil) and keep aside.

·        Take 1 cup of all purpose flour , a pinch of salt and water to make a thick batter.

·        Heat a pan and pour enough oil for deep frying.

·        When the oil is heated sufficiently, reduce the flame to medium.

·        Dip each ball in the batter and deep fry it. Turn the sides to cook evenly.

·        Use paper for removing excess oil.

Note :

     If you find excess water in the cooked green gram then heat it again to get  thick .
