To begin making the Saggubiyyam Punugulu, soak the tapioca pearls in water for 2 hours and boil them on a sauce pan with some more water added for about 10 minutes.
Take a bowl, add all the ingredients including the boiled tapioca and mix well. Check for salt as well. Add water to make a thick batter.
Heat a kuzhi paniyaram pan for pan frying the punugulu. Add a teaspoon of oil in each of the cavities. Spoon the batter into each of the cavities and fry them until brown and crisp.
You can add a little more oil on the punugulu if you like it crispy. Once one batch of the punugulu are done, remove from the pan and drain in the paper towel.
Proceed the same way with the remaining punugulu batter.
