Susiyam is nothing but a sweet ball, which is crispy on outside and soft inside. Generally, this is made with green gram or chana dal, and it is deep-fried in the oil.
To make it healthier, I have sprouted the green gram and fried in the less ghee in an appe pan instead of deep-frying it. This is a traditional South Indian recipe. Susiyam has different names such as sugiyam, suzhiyam, suyyam. We all know sprouts have numerous health benefits. They are rich in protein and fiber. All sprouts act as an immunity booster. It is advisable to eat sprouts at least once a day.
This can be had as an evening snack and it is very healthy and filling. This is very easy to make snack which can be prepared within 20 mins if you have the sprouts handy. I measured the moong after it sprouted. The specified amount of jaggery was enough for us. Fry susiyam in the ghee. Do not use oil. Now let us see how to prepare this recipe.
