This is my hubby's one of the favourite tea time snack. I learnt this recipe from my mom and its my favourite too. Enjoy your Sukhiyan!

Ingredients

 Moong Dal / Whole green gram – 1 cup

Jaggery – ½ cup

Cardamom – 3 crushed (optional)

All purpose flour/plain flour / Maida – 1 cup

Water – as required

Salt – a pinch

Turmeric powder – a pinch

Oil - for frying

Steps

Soak the moong dal for 3 hours. Pressure cook up to 2 whistles.

Melt the jaggery in a little hot water and add crushed cardamom to it.

Add the cooked dal and mix well, you must get a dry mixture.

Make small lemon sized balls with the mixture and keep aside.

Mix flour and water to get a medium thick batter.

Add salt, turmeric powder and mix well.

Heat oil in a pan for frying the moong dal balls.

Dip the moong dal balls in the batter and it must be coated well.

Fry it in a medium flame.

Notes – You can add coconut to the jaggery mixture if you like. Don’t overcook moong dal otherwise it will be difficult to make round shape. Keep the water level same with moong dal when pressure cook it.
