Sukhiyan (Kerala Snack)
For all those people who are not familiar with this dish, i will give a small introduction. This is a typical kerala tea time snack. Its usually available in the local tea shops. Its very simple & easy to make & this is one of my favourite tea time snack, nalumanipalaharam :)
- Cherupayar(Moong Dal) – 1/2 kg
- Jaggery – 1/4 kg
Coconut – 2 cups - Plain Flour – 1 1/2 cup
Gram Flour – 1 1/2 cup - Cardamom – 5 crushed
- Water
Cook cherupayar in 3 cups water & drain the water completely. Make sure that it is not overcooked. Melt Jaggery by adding 1/4 cup water. When it melts add coconut & cardamom. Mix well. Add the cooked cherupayar to this mix & combine. Make sure that the mix is dry. When it is cooled make small balls with the mix. Combine plain flour & besan flour. Add little water to this & make a thick batter. Dip each of the balls in the batter & deep fry.

Hi Maria, My first time here. I have never heard of Sukhiyan. Is it same as Modakam? From the recipe it looks so. The picture is very tempting.

Hi Reena
