Ingredients

  • 2 cups Whole green gram
  • 3/4 cup Jaggery, grated
  • 3/4 cup Coconut, grated
  • 2 Cardamoms, crushed
  • 1/4 tsp Dry ginger powder
  • 1 cup Rice flour
  • 1/2 cup Maida
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

To make the green gram balls:

  • Pressure cook the green gram dal with very little water. Do not overcook. It shouldn’t get completely mashed.
  • Drain the cooked green gram.
  • Add the grated jaggery, coconut, cardamom, dry ginger powder and mix well. You can warm the mix slightly to melt the jaggery so that it can hold the mixture together.
  • Make lemon sized balls out of the mixture and keep aside.

To make the batter:

  • Mix water, salt and rice flour to make a thick batter. You can use ½ cup maida and ½ cup rice flour if you want a soft covering. Rice flour alone will make the covering crunchy.
  • Dip the green gram balls in the rice flour/maida batter and deep fry in oil until golden brown.
  • Drain and serve delicious Sughiyan with a cup of hot chai.

Notes

* You can add a pinch of salt when cooking the green gram dal.
