Goan

Sukrunde

  • Duration: 35 mins
  • Serves: 8-10 people

Authenticity Slice

When you bite into a sukrunde, the skin must be lightly crisp and the stuffing should burst with the flavour of coconut and the warm floral scent of the melted jaggery. Use freshly ground rice batter to coat the sukrunde to get the authentic Goan flavour of a crisp outer coating with the filling just lightly melted.

Trivia Tadka

Sukrunde holds a very special place in the homes of both Goan Christians and Hindus as well, be it a wedding, baby shower or a religious festival, this deep-fried dessert must make an appearance to signify all auspicious beginnings.
