It’s a unique dish which has sweet stuffing made of jaggery, grated coconut and Bengal gram dal mix in the centre and is coated with rice and urad dal batter on the outside. The crunchiness of the outer coating with soft stuffing inside is simply delicious. The dish is usually made on auspicious days and can also be a wonderful after school snack for the kids.

Instructions for Chettinad Inippu Seeyam Recipe

    1

    To begin making the Chettinad Inippu Seeyam recipe, soak rice and urad dal separately in water for about 4 hours. 

    2

    Drain the water and grind into thick consistency batter. Add a teaspoon salt and keep aside.

    3

    Soak Bengal gram dal for about 2 hours. Then cook in open pot until dal is well cooked and turns soft.  Do not overcook dal and make it mushy.

    4

    Remove dal from heat, drain any excess water if remains. Mash it well.

    5

    In a heavy bottomed pan, heat crushed jaggery with 2 tablespoon water. Once jaggery melts, add cooked Bengal gram, grated coconut and mix well.

    7
