one of my most favorite south indian snack

Kadalai Parupu Suliyan

Ingredients:

1. Chana dal - 2cups (boil in water for 15 mins and drain it nicely),
2. Jaggery - 3 cups,
3. Maida - 1 cup,
4. Cardomom powder - 3 tsp,
5. Baking soda - 1 tsp,
6. Oil - for frying,
7. Salt - 2 tsp.




Procedure:


1. Crunch the boiled dal and make into granulated powder.
2. Add cardomom powder to the dal powder and mix well.
3. Then take jaggery in a vessel, add 1 tsp salt in it and some water to dissolve while heating.
4. After some time jaggery will dissolve completely and boils nicely, at that time take out the vessel from heat.
5. Now add the jaggery syrup to the dal mixture and mix well and make into thick dough and make into small balls.
6. Make a slightly thick batter with maida, baking soda, salt and water.
7. Heat oil in kadai, dip the gram balls in the maida batter and put in semi-hot oil.
8. Fry the balls until they are puffy, crispy and slightly golden brown in colour.
9. Put them in a plate with paper towel to drain excess oil and serve hot!!
