Sukhiyan is a sweet and delicious snack of Kerala. It is a sweet ball coverd with maida batter and deep fried in oil.It is one of my favourite snacks and i usually make it with the evening tea.
Ingredients:
For filling:
1/2 cup green gram
1/2 cup grated coconut
1/2 cup jaggery
For the batter:
1/2 cup maida/all purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Water as required
Oil for frying
Method:
- Wash and soak green gram in water for 2-4hrs.
- Cook the green gram and while cooking make sure that they dont turn mushy.
- In a saucepan melt jaggery along with 2 tblsp of water. If there are any impurities, seive the melted jaggery.
- Add the grated coconut to the melted jaggery and keep stirring for about 5 mins on low heat.
- Add the cooked green gram to the jaggery-coconut mixture and keep mixing untill all the liquid is absorbed.
- Now make lemon sized balls out of the mixture.
- Prepare a thick batter using maida. Add a pinch of salt to this.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan.
- Dip each ball in the batter and the batter should coat well on all sides.
- Now deep fry in oil till it turns golden brown.
