How to make Sukhiyan / Sugiyan
Prepare Green Gram
Dry roast the green gram.
Wash the roasted green gram.
Add the green gram to a pressure cooker with water and a pinch of salt.
Cook for 5-6 whistles or until the green gram becomes tender but not mushy. Set aside.
Prepare Jaggery Syrup
Boil jaggery with water until the jaggery completely melts.
Let the jaggery syrup cool down.
Prepare Batter
In a bowl, mix flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, salt, and water to form a batter. Set aside.
Assemble and Fry
In a mixing bowl, combine cooked green gram, jaggery syrup, grated coconut, cardamom powder, cumin seed powder, ghee, and flattened rice.
Mix well and make lemon-sized balls.
Heat oil in a pan.
Dip the green gram balls in the batter.
When the oil is hot, add the balls and fry until the outer layer is cooked.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy outer layer.
You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of jaggery.
