Ingredients
  

For stuffing:

  • 2 cups green moong pasipayaru
  • 1.5 cups jaggery powder
  • ½ tsp cardamom powder
  • 1 tsp ghee
  • 1 cup grated coconut

For outer cover:

  • 1 cup maida
  • 2 tsp rice flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 pinch baking salt
  • Water to mix
  • Oil to deep fry

Instructions
 

Preparation:

  • Soak green gram(whole green moong) for one hour.
  • Pressure cook for just 1 or 2 whistles with enough water. Do not overcook for more than 2 whistles because the pasipayaru may turn too soft, gooey and merged with water. On top of that, it will become very difficult to make stuff balls.
  • Powder jaggery and keep it ready.
  • Grate coconut.

Recipe to make Pasipayaru suiyam:

    How to make sweet stuffing balls:

    • Filter out the water completely from the boiled green moong.
    • Take it in a large mixing bowl. Mash the boiled gram lightly.
    • Add jaggery powder, cardamom powder, ghee, and grated coconut.
    • Combine everything together with a flat ladle in such a way that the warm boiled moong mashed and mixed with all other ingredients.
    • Use fingers to make the stuff as a whole mass and make small balls out of the mixture. Keep them aside.

    How to prepare the batter for outer coating:

    • In another bowl, take maida(all purpose flour) and rice flour.
    • Put some salt and a pinch of baking salt.
    • Pour some water, whisk and prepare a batter for the outer cover. The thickness of the batter should match dosa batter consistency. It should be pourable but not very thin.

    How to fry sweet green moong paniyaram:

    • In the meantime, heat oil in a kadai in medium temperature. Check by drop a single bit of batter. The batter should not come up too quickly or brown too fast and have to rise slowly.
    • Now coat the sweet ball with the batter, and drop it slowly into the oil. You can use a spoon to drop the coated paniyaram like this.
    • Wait a few minutes for them to come up slowly. Then flip them all.
    • Fry all the sides in the same way by stirring occasionally.
    • Since we use maida for the outer cover, it won't get much of brown color even after frying.
    • If the bubbles settle down you can strain out from the oil and remove the excess oil by keeping in tissue paper before serving.
    • Serve warm as a snack or breakfast. Keep in refrigerator & it stays good for the next day also.

    Notes

    Tips/Notes: 1) while frying in oil, some balls may tend to stick at the bottom of the kadai. Do not worry, they will come up after a few minutes, if not you can use ladle gently to flip them. Beginners, please be careful as if you do it fast hot oil may spill on hands. 2) You can make the boiling and proceed with sweet balls and keep in the refrigerator a day before. The next just mix the outer cover batter and fry. 3) If you like to do in Mundhiri kothu style instead of boiling just shallow fry the green moong in ghee, powder it and mix with other ingredients. In that case, it is difficult to make balls with powders. Hence make jaggery syrup, mix the moong powder and other stuff and keep on stove until you get a thick mass consistency. Then proceed with making balls and the rest of the steps shown in this post. 4) For some color add a pinch of turmeric powder in the outer cover batter.
