Suzhiyam is a traditional sweet of Tamil Nadu. It is made with chanadal, coconut, jaggery, and maida. Suzhiyam will be served with Idli and Sambar (breakfast) on Diwali. Preparing poornam will take time, if the poornam is ready, it is very simple to prepare suzhiyam, I and my family love this a lot. There are two types in this, poornam is common for both the types, it can be dipped in maida batter or in idli batter, we usually use maida for this dish, but you can also use regular idli-dosa batter.

Notes

  • Soak the chana dal for 30 minutes to 1 hour, so it will be cooked nice and soft.
  • If you are cooking without soaking, pressure cook chanadal up to 6 whistles. 
  • Do not cook chana dal with lots of water, it will take more time for the poornam to get ready.
  • I have added a 1:1 ratio of chana dal and jaggery and you can add jaggery to your taste.
  • You can store the poornam in the fridge for many days (up to 2 weeks), or you can use it for preparing sweet poli or kozhukattai.
  • You can roast the grated coconut in ghee, and add it to the jaggery syrup, it will give a nice aroma and enhance the taste of poornam. 
  • Instead of maida, you can dip the poornam in the idli batter.
