Ingredients
2cupsWhole green gram
3/4cupJaggery, grated
3/4cupCoconut, grated
2Cardamoms, crushed
1/4tspDry ginger powder
1cupRice flour
1/2cupMaida
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.
