Sukkinunde a guilt free sweet made in appe/Paddu pan |

ಸುಕ್ಕಿನುಂಡೆ | ಪಕ್ಷಮಾಸದ ವಿಶೇಷ |
Sukkinunde is a traditional sweet dish, which is usually made during Pakshamasa/Pitrupaksha or shraddha/vaidika days like I said before in case of rave payasa/sooji ka kheer.
But now the trend has changed and you can make anything on any day. Both the outer layer and the inside filling are made in different combinations in different places.
Such as more rice and less urad dal or less rice and more urad dal are soaked and made into the paste, some even use maida for the outer layer and for the filling some people make coconut & jaggery (kayi hoorana) filling, some other use pigeon pea or bengal gram & jaggery (bele hoorana) filling,
Usually the traditional sukkinunde is a deep fried sweet dish, but today I made it in a totally different version and instead of deep frying, I made it in appe/paddu pan/gunthpongalu pan. For the outer layer I have used whole wheat flour and for the filling I have used whole green gram+coconut+jaggery.
Ingredients : measuring cup used – 250 ml, makes 11 sukkinunde
For the outer layer :
- Whole wheat flour – 1/4 cup
- Rice flour – 2 tbsp
- Salt – a fat pinch
- Water – 1/4 cup or little more (adjust)
- Ghee – 1 tsp
For the filling :
- Whole green gram, cooked – 1/2 cup (cooked 1/4 cup of green gram in 2 cups of water and it yielded 1 cup of cooked green gram, made payasa using other 1/2 portion of the cooked green gram)
- Grated fresh coconut – 1/2 cup (tightly packed)
- Jaggery – 1/2 cup
- Cardamom powder – 1/4 tsp
PROCEDURE :
- Gather together and combine all the ingredients mentioned below the heading “for the outer layer”, (the batter should be of the idly batter consistency)



- Put together cooked whole green gram, coconut and jaggery in a pan and cook until the mixture becomes dry and leaves the edges of the pan, add in cardamom powder and remove from the heat and let it cool, then make portions





- Heat the appe/paddu pan, drizzle a drop of ghee in each cavity
- Dip a portion of the filling in the batter and place it in the appe/paddu pan, cover and let it cook, flip and cook as well



- Remove to a plate and serve
