Sughiyan Kerala Recipe:
Sughiyan is a traditional sweet delicacy from Kerala. These sweet and crunchy green moong dal balls go really fast at family gatherings!
- To make sweet green gram balls firstly wash the green moong dal well. Then place the washed dal in a pressure cooker. Pour very little water into the cooker. Pressure cook the dal till soft, but not totally mashed.
- Once the pressure comes down, open the lid and take cooked moong dal into a colander to drain out the water.
- Then transfer the drained dal into a bowl.
- Now add grated jaggery, grated coconut, crushed cardamom and dry ginger powder to the dal.
- Mix all the ingredients together. (If required, you can place the bowl over low heat to melt the jaggery so that the mixture comes together and doesn’t crumble.
- Now make small lemon sized balls from the mixture and set aside.
- Next, to make the batter, take rice flour in a mixing bowl. Season with salt. Then add water slowly and blend to make a thickish batter. You also can use ½ cup flour (maida) and ½ cup rice flour for a soft covering. Just rice flour alone will give the balls a crunchy covering.
- Now dip the prepared green moong balls in the thick rice flour/maida batter. Ensure the balls are evenly covered with the batter.
- Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying. Once the oil heats up, gently drop the sweet balls in the oil.
- Fry till the balls turn golden brown.
- Then remove the sughiyan with a slotted spoon and place on paper tissue.
- Serve hot and crunchy Sughiyan with a steaming cup of ginger chai.
