Sithurundai (Sweet Poornam Koftas)

This is also one of my favorite's. It is very simple and easy to make. They are also referred to as "Sugiyan" or "Seeyam" but only when they are made for Shardhams (Ceremonies). We prepare this for Sri Jayanti and Kaarthigai Deepam.

Items needed for making this :

For the Filling (Poornam)

1 Cup Fine Coconut
1 Cup Jaggery (about 6 pieces of Achchu Vellam)
4 Elaichi/Cardamoms

For the Outer Layer (Koftas)

1 Cup Rice Flour
1 TBSPN Urad Dhal Powder (Click here for the recipe of Dhal Powder)
Water

Oil for Frying

Dissolve the jaggery in little water and add the elaichi and coconut. Make it into a smooth ball.
Let it cool.

For the outer layer - Mix the rice flour, urad dhal powder in enough water. It should have the consistency of bonda/bajji.

Heat the oil. Take the poornam and dip it in the rice urad dhal flour mixture and coat it well. Add it to the oil. Fry it well in the oil. The yummy sithurundai is ready!
