SEEYAM/SUZHIAM/SOJJI/FRIED MOTHAGAM/SOYYAM


Seeyam/Suzhium/Fried Mothagam/Sojji is a fantastic sweet made with chana dal and jaggery. The sweet and cardamom flavourful filling are dipped into the rice urad dal batter and deep-fried as crispy golden sweet bondas. It is called as Sugium, Seeyam, Sojji, Suzhium, Mothagam and so on. In Tamilnadu, this sweet is traditionally made during the festival time.
But it can be made and enjoyed as an evening snack if we crave for something sweet and high proteinous bites.
