Notes:

  • You can also pressure cook bengal gram / kadalai paruppu for 1 or 2 whistles or until well cooked.
  • Step 4 under making of poornam is completely optional as i got poornam bit watery. You can just grind bengal gram and jaggery along with cardamom seeds and mix it with ghee and make balls.
  • You can also add grated coconut in kadalai paruppu poornam, while adding jaggery.
  • Batter consistency should be like of idly batter. If you think batter is very thick than you can add little water to make it perfect for dipping.
  • You can make this suyam with idly batter also.
