Sukku Kali/Dry Ginger halwa

Sukku Kali ,this is usually given for new mothers ,this is good for everybody too.I thought it was very difficult to make,so i tried in small portion.This was simple to make,but it needs quite a stirring ,sure can use another hand.

Important thing,they cannot be prepared and eaten is same day.It should be left overnight and had next morning empty stomach.Generally they say not to have plenty of water.

Karuppati we dont need syrup consistency.It is enough if it just dissolved as we are cooking it again.

Usually these use grated coconut,as kids will not like the bits ,i used coconut milk .It turned out fantastic more like halwa. You can be quite generous with gingelly oil.

It yields very little about 100g ,u can increase or decrease the karupatti as per your liking.

Ingredients

1. Sukku - 2 nos,soak it overnight
2. Raw rice- 2 tbsp,soak it , 2 hrs
3. Elachi- 2 nos
4. Gingelly oil- 3 tbsp
5. Palm Jaggery/Karupatti- 1/2cup
6. Coconut milk/ Shredded coconut-1/4 cup

Method

1. Soak the rice and sukku(dry ginger) over night in hot water.
2. Take the karupatti ,break into small bits and 1/4 cup of water and heat it.Allow it to boil till all the karupati has immersed.We dont need any string consistency.Strain and keep it.
3. Grind sukku,rice ,elachi into smooth paste using the soaked water.
4. Add oil in a heavy bottomed vessel add the ground paste .Keep stirring , let it cook and oil should separate.It should take 10min.
5. While stirring it will stick to the sides,its alright.
6. When it is cooked ,add the coconut milk/grated coconut ,it should mix well with the cooked paste.
7. After 3min add the Karuppati and stir that it mixes well to the cooked paste.Cook for 5min.Dont leave it for long as it might become hard.
8. Leave it for a day and serve it next morning.
