Sukku coffee
Sukku coffee is an appetizing and flavourful drink made with dry ginger and coriander seeds. Aids digestion and helps with loss of appetite.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- ½ cup Dry ginger Crushed roughly
- ½ 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 teaspoon 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 tablespoon 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.
