Aayi’s Recipes Konkan/Konkani food blog, Indian culinary treasures

As I had mentioned earlier many times, I like to discuss food with V’s grandmother. She is almost 85+ years old now, but has this great interest in food. What surprises me is, though she cannot cook now, she loves to learn new dishes. She also loves to give me her own recipes. This is one such recipe I got from her. V remembers eating it as a kid when she made it for him. Then it was totally forgotten. Isn’t it nice to dig such dishes?

Sannan (pronounced as saa – nna – n or saa – nda – n) is usually a steamed dish. We serve it for breakfast. Another spicy version can be found here. I served it with coconut chutney.

Ingredients:
1 cup fresh/frozen coconut
1 cup rice rava
3-4 tbl spn jaggery
1/4 cup (approx) milk
A pinch salt

Method:
Grind together coconut, jaggery and milk. Add rava. Keep aside for about 15mins.
Pour the mixture in cooker vessel(you can even use a idli stand).

Steam like idlis till done.

Serve hot.

Serves : 3-4
Preparation time : 30mins

PS: You can directly use idli rava for this. Or else, soak rice in water for 2-3 hours. Drain the water completely. Spread on a cloth to remove any extra water. Now grind to a coarse consistency.
