Suyyan
A diwali speciality, A tasty treat, A sweet delicasy, You know what I am talking about. Yes Suyyan. Crispy on the outside and soft and sweet inside. I learnt this from my MIL and its my hubby;s favotite. There are two ways in preparing Suyyan, the outside coating differs, What my MIL used to make is with Maida and the other version uses Urad dhal and rice( I learnt it after). For Suyyan cardamom plays a vital role, yes the cardamom acts as the main flavoring agent. Without that Suyyan wouldnt taste good. Thats why I thought It would be perfect to send to Priya's CWS- Cardamom seeds and to Srilekha's efm-sweets-and-savories-for-diwali.
