Sukku coffee recipe, sukku malli kaapi

Sukku coffee is an appetizing and flavourful drink made with dry ginger and coriander seeds. Aids digestion and helps with loss of appetite.

I always make sukku coffee without roasting and with just two main  ingredients. Very easy method and very refreshing drink. This is best home remedy for loss of appetite, indigestion, gastric problems etc. I have already posted another version with fresh ginger, this is also a similar one with dry ginger. This also helps in healthy weight loss if you have indigestion problems, through which you retain weight. You can have thrice a week, as too much can hurt your tummy.

I felt like having this sukku kaapi last weekend after I bought this dry ginger for making Thirikadugam (Trikatu) for my kid. The aroma of sukku was just irresistible. As a kid, I have ran away from all these, but age matters. These days, looking after ourselves is a big task and keep looking for change in lifestyle to adopt a healthier one. I have given with sukku (Dry ginger), but you can also use sukku powder we get in packets in shops.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Servings 8

Cup measurements

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Dry ginger Crushed roughly
• 1/2 cup Coriander seeds
• Palm sugar candy – As needed

Instructions

• Break the sukku to soften it. We cannot add as such in mixer, otherwise mixie will get spoiled. So I used my hand mortar and pestle for this.
• Transfer to the mixer and just run it to powder it coarsely. No need to powder finely. This way the aroma is very different from using fine powder, I feel.
• Add coriander seeds and again do not powder finely, let it be coarse.
• Transfer this to an airtight container and you can use it for a month. To make a single serving, boil 2 cups water. Lower the flame.
• Add 2 heaped tsp of this sukku malli powder (Dry ginger+ coriander powder) and let it boil in medium flame until it reduces to half.
• Add palm candy (Panangarkandu) as needed to sweeten and let it dissolve. Switch off the stove.
• Filter it through a metal strainer and transfer the sukku kaapi to the cup.

Notes

• You can make then and there too, instead of making the powder ahead. Just place a small piece of dry ginger and break it until soft in a mortar and pestle. Add 2 tbsp of coriander seeds and crush it too coarsely until aromatic. Proceed from step 4.
• I find this way, its more aromatic as we are crushing the ingredients than powdering.
• You can use karuppatti (Palm jaggery), or jaggery or even honey (must be added only to luke warm coffee) to sweeten this coffee.
• You can add a cardamom to make it more aromatic.
• You can add little milk after you switch off the stove.
