SUKRUNDE


This is one of the most enjoyed traditional sweets during our childhood days but sadly somewhat forgotten  these days. 

Mom used to prepare this often for evening tea.   Also we used to relish this during church feasts ( parish feasts) and temple festivals  and fairs where this sweet was sold in almost every  food stall.

This is a delicious sweet with sweet green gram filling and crispy rice flour coating. 

You can also use green gram dal/ chana dal instead of whole green gram. 

Here is a recipe for this delicious sweet:


INGREDIENTS:

For the filling:

  • 1 cup  green gram.
  • 1 cup jaggery ( as needed)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1  cup coconut
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder

For the coating:

  • 1 cup rice flour or ground raw rice.
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • Salt to taste. 

We need oil for frying

METHOD:


Wash & Soak green gram overnight. (8hrs)


Drain the water & add it to pressure cooker. Add 1 cup water and pressure cook for 3-4 whistles. Allow the pressure to release on its own. 
(Do not add more water while boiling)


The green gram is cooked well & absorbed all the water. 


Slightly cool & add this to the mixer grinder jar along with coconut , jaggery and cardamom powder.  Add a pinch of salt & pulse it for a few seconds till everything is well combined. ( Do not add  water)


Add rice flour to all purpose flour, add salt to taste &  required quantity water to make it  a lump free (dosa batter consistency) batter. ( You can use ground raw rice batter too instead).


Prepare required size balls out of the filling mixture. 

Meanwhile heat oil for frying. 


Dip the balls in the batter. Make sure that the batter is well coated  to the balls. Or else the filling will come out while frying resulting in a messy job.


Carefully drop these balls one by one in hot oil. Fry on a medium flame till they turn slightly golden brown. Fry in batches. 


Remove & drain the excess oil. 


Place it on an absorbent paper. 


Delicious sukrundes are ready. 


These are super delicious with a crispy exterior & soft, sweet, flavourful interior. Serve hot or cold.


Enjoy these for evening snack along with your loved ones.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy ...

Chicken Jiren Mirin Curry

Chicken Jiren Mirin Curry This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of mangalorean cuisine.  I still feel the aroma of this curry from my grandmother's & mom's kitchen.  Whenever we visited our grandmother, she used to prepare this curry with her own country chicken (naati koli) and serve it with hot crispy rice bakri.  The taste , aroma & grandmother's love  is just unforgettable.  This curry can be prepared very easily as very few basic ingredients are required to prepare this yummy curry. Here we use less red long chillies to enhance the flavour of other spices.   This curry is called jiren-mirin curry as jiren(jeera) & mirin(pepper) are the main ingredients which gives authentic flavour & taste to this dish.   Here we use less chillies as more pepper is added to the masala.  This curry goes extremely well with sanna, dosa, appams, panpole, chapathi and even with plain rice.  This same masala...
