Sukku / Chukku Malli Coffee was first introduced to me only few months back in my first yoga class. Yes it is served in the yoga class almost daily….The first time I had it was so hot and now am used to it…It helps during sore throat and great remedy for cold. Sukku(Dry ginger) coffee is usually made with water but it you wish if you prefer you can add little milk. Now that I’ve my homemade sukku coffee powder I can have it anytime of the day 🙂
As the climate is changing often and it rains unexpectedly…feel like having something hot to give a good relief to cough and cold.It is not only a medicine for cold, it helps for digestion too.Now you get to know the benefits of sukku coffee…what are you waiting for? Go make your batch right away 🙂
Sukku Coffee Recipe – Ingredients
Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 20 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Beverage | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Recipe Category: Beverage | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
For making sukku coffee powder:
Dried Ginger powder – 1/2 cup
Coriander Seeds – 1/4 cup
Pepper corns – 1/2 tsp
Jeera – 1/2 tsp
For making sukku coffee:
Water – 2 cups
Sukku coffee powder – 2 tsp
Crystallised palm sugar(Panankalkandu) – 1 tsp
Jaggery – 1 tsp(optional)
Method:
- Dry roast coriander seeds till golden brown.Then dry roast jeera and pepper till nice aroma rises,set aside.Cool down completely.
- Grind it to a fine powder(as fine as possible).Mix this with the mentioned amount of dried ginger powder.
- Mix well then sieve it (for even mixing).Eliminate the dusty part.Now your homemade sukku coffee powder is ready to use.Store in airtight container.Boil water, add homemade sukku coffee powder, give a quick stir.
- Add jaggery,crystallised palm sugar and mix well.Allow it to boil for 3-5 mins. Then strain through metal strainer and serve hot.
Serve hot with a generous serving of ghee, heaven I say 🙂
My Notes:
- If you feel its is little spicy, then add 3/4 tsp for each cup.
- Usually sukku coffee is made only with water, but if you prefer you can have it with half and half milk, water.
- You can store the homemade sukku coffee powder upto 2-3 months.
- Actually they use palm sugar(karupatti) for sukku coffee. I dont have it so have used the substitute for it as it works well.

November 19, 2014 at 4:46 amThanks you for sharing recipe. I need to have it in office instead of having coffee and tea. As per the procedure everything seems to fine except heating for some time. Is that mandatory to heat the suku coffee for 2-3 mins? because it is not possible in office.
SHARMILEE J says
December 1, 2014 at 1:54 pmYes yes only after boiling the raw smell will leave so it is a must…If you have microwave then you can boil it using it
