Susiyam recipe with step-wise pictures and video recipe. Susiyam is a traditional South Indian sweet recipe made with Chana dal pooranam for festivals like vinayagar Chaturthi, saraswathi pooja and Diwali. It is usually prepared with Maida outer coating but I have replaced it with wheat flour. These fried balls are crispy outside with crunchy sweet filling inside. You can also make the filling with coconut and jaggery.
In this suzhiyam the whole channa dal and jaggery is for filling and using maida as an outer cover. It was in my list for longtime and finally got change to try them, It came out perfectly. My amma makes it so perfectly and also she used to make perfect suzhiyam while making it… So I hope you make this yummy sweetest recipe at your home and let me tell how it turn out….

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Wash the Chana dal soak about 30 minutes
-
Then pressure cook it with 2 cups of water and allow for 2-3 whistles. Dal should be cooked nicely but not be mashed.
-
Grind or smashed dal in the mixer to a nice paste without adding water.
-
Take jaggery in a heavy bottomed vessel. Then pour water just enough to immerse jaggery. Heat it and when jaggery dissolves completely, filter it in a metal strainer .
-
Then again start heating the jaggery syrup. When it starts boiling, at one stage, the syrup will get frothy. At this stage add the ground dal paste and coconut. Stir continuously without forming any lumps. Add elachi powder and mix thoroughly.

Yummy Suiyam is ready
Note
- While cooking dal , if you add more water , drain the excess water and grind to a smooth paste.
- You can make the batter only using Maida. Adding rice flour makes it slightly crispy.
- Suzhiyan stays soft and good for 2-3 days.
