Susiyam Recipe Details

Prep time : 30 minutes
Cook time : 25 minutes
Yields : 20 to 25 susiyam
Category : sweet
Author : Muthulakshmi Madhavakrishnan

Ingredients

1/2 cup chana dal
1/2 cup jaggery
1/4 cup coconut
1/2 tsp cardamom powder
1 cup maida (all purpose flour)
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp rice flour
2 tsp ghee
Oil for deep frying

For the stuffing (pooranam)

Soak the chana dal for 30 minutes and pressure cook the chana dal for 4 to 6 whistles. Make sure to cook them soft, to get the best texture.

Grind the cooked chana dal without water or mash it well with a masher. If the chana dals are not cooked properly, the right texture would be missing in the stuffing.

Measure and add 1/2 cup jaggery in a vessel. Add 1/4 cup water and allow the jaggery to boil on medium heat. When it dissolves completely turn off the heat and keep it ready.

Heat a heavy bottomed kadai and add 1 tsp ghee. Add the grated coconut and fry for a few minutes.

After a few minutes, strain and add the jaggery syrup.

When the jaggery syrup gets thick, add the ground or mashed chana dal. Add cardamom powder. Add ghee and stir well for a few minutes. When adding the chana dal, the jaggery syrup should be sticky. Adding ghee is optional but it enhances the taste and helps to easily shape the balls without sticking to your palm.

Keep the kadai on low heat and cook till the mixture will begin to leave the sides and become a thick mass. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool down.

When the pooranam is completely cooled, prepare medium sized balls.

For the outer covering

Combine maida, baking soda and rice flour in a deep vessel. Add water as required little by little and mix well. Do not make the dough watery.

Make sure the batter should not be too thick or too thin, it should be in medium thick with proper pouring consistency. Once mixed, rest the batter for 15 minutes. Adding baking soda in the batter makes the susiyams soft after cooled down. You can skip if you don't want.

Deep frying

Coat the prepared balls uniformly with the batter. Gently drop the susiyams one by one in the hot oil.

Gently turn the susiyams and cook for a few seconds and transfer it to the draining vessel.

The oil must be in medium when deep frying. If the oil is not hot enough, will make the susiyam absorb more oil or if the oil is too hot, the susiyam can get burnt quickly.

Delicious Susiyams are ready to serve.

Seppankizhangu Poriyal - this poriyal is prepared with taro root, chilly powder, small onions cumin garlic paste and perfectly roasted in an iron kadai. The best cooking method for this taro root poriyal is to cook the taro roots in an open vessel for 10 minutes on medium heat with a good amount of water. No one likes a mushy taro root, so just keep an eye on it and check them for doneness by inserting a knife. If you cook taro roots in a pressure cooker, it will be too soft and turns mushy.
