    About Seeyam | Suzhiyan

    Seeyam Suzhiyam is a popular festival snack that is prepared and shared. This sweet is made with Kadalai paruppu (Channa Dal) and jaggery to add sweetness to the recipe. Maida flour and rice flour are used to create the crispy coating on the outside.

    Susiyam is a traditional sweet of Kerala and Kanyakmari district. It is a fried round dumpling filled with green gramme, jaggery, and grated coconut. The outer covering is made from maida batter. This sweet comes in several varieties.

    It is always prepared during Vinayagar Chathurthi and Diwali. This snack is also often found in small tea shops in the towns and villages of Kerala and Tamil Nadu

    Ingredients for seeyam

    All Purpose Flour / Maida :
    Maida requires more oil or butter when baking or cooking because it is lighter and rises faster, which is why bakers prefer maida to atta. All-purpose flour can be used for a variety of tasks, including baking, cooking, coating meats and vegetables, and thickening sauces and gravies. To manufacture all-purpose flour, a blend of
    hard wheat (which has more gluten) and soft wheat is crushed together.

    Jaggery / Sarkarai / Vellam  :
    Depending on its composition, jaggery can taste like fresh cane juice, maple syrup, caramel, or molasses. The unrefined natural sweetener is available in a variety of colours, including light amber, golden brown, and dark brown. Jaggery is known by many different names, including gur in Urdu, gud in Hindi, and vellam in Tamil.
