SUZHIYAM RECIPE

Recipe Category: Chettinad / Sweets 
Soaking Time: 3 hours Preparation Time: 30 minutes 
Cooking Time: 15 minutes Serves: 8

Ingredients:

For the Batter: OR (Idli Batter)

Raw Rice - 1/2 cup
Urad Dhal - 1/2 cup + 4 tbsp (Take little more than raw rice)
Pearl Sago / Javvuarisi - 1 tbsp (Optional)
Salt - pinch
Water - required to grind fine, thick and smooth batter.

For the Pooranam Stuffing:

Channa Dhal - 1/2 cup
Jaggery - 1/4 cup or more
Coconut - 1/4 cup
Cardamom Powder - 1 tsp

Method of Preparation:

1. Measure both into separate vessels and soak for 3 hours maximum and 1 hour minimum. Grind raw rice first for 5 minutes and then add urad dhal adding water little by little. Add salt and grind to smooth batter. Transfer to a container and keep aside. Pressure cook channa dhal with water for 2 whistle at medium heat and turn off. Release the pressure immediately and strain the water.

2. Dry the channa dhal from moisture in a newspaper for 10 minutes. Take them in a mixie jar and pulse it twice, just make it a crumble and not a paste.

3.Add jaggery powder and cardamom, pulse it once. Then add grated coconut and pulse again so it forms a whole mixture.

4. Make small balls from the pooranam mixture. Dip the balls in the resting batter and coat evenly.

5. Heat oil for frying in a small kadhai, gently drop the ball into the hot oil. Let them cook on both sides till golden brown outer and drain them in a tissue paper.

Notes:

• You can also use Idli Dosa batter. It should not be runny like dosa but thick like idli's batter.
• Runny batter will drink more oil and will not have enough outer coating for the pooranam.
• You can prepare the stuffing before hand, so will be easy to make this yummy sweet in minutes to serve the guests. 
• The batter can be prepared thick for both suzhiyam and masala cheeyam together. Later dilute little water for masala cheeyam recipe,
