Instructions
- Soak the green gram overnight or at least 8 hours. Pressure cook it with 1/2 cup water and a pinch of salt. Switch off the flame after one whistle. (Cooking time and quantity of water may depend on the quality of the green gram)
- In a saucepan, melt the jaggery with 1/4 cup of water. Strain it to remove any impurities. Add grated coconut to it and cook till the water is dried up.
- Add cooked green gram, ghee, and cardamom powder, stir until the mixture is dry. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool down. Make medium-sized balls and keep aside.
- Make a batter with all the ingredients listed under 'for batter' except oil for deep frying. Keep aside the batter for 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep pan. Dip sukhiyan balls in the batter and deep fry in medium flame until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain off excess oil. Serve hot.
