Sukku malli coffee | sukku kaapi recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.
I was first introduced to this coffee(kapi, to be more precise in Tamil) by our neighbor aunty. Sukku is dry ginger and malli means coriander seeds. I have told about her in the Kurunai vadai post too.
Almost every week aunty makes this and brings piping hot sukku kaapi in the evening for my mom and paati in a big vessel. Initially, my sister and I will not even taste this as we feel that it is not meant for us. But aunty and even their daughters who are of the same age always tell us to try this kaapi.
What are the benefits of Sukku malli coffee
Sukku malli kaapi drink has medicinal values too. Sukku malli kapi relieves headaches, aids in digestion, and keeps you energetic. This can be made with simple ingredients available at home. Slowly I and my sister started liking this and after that forgot about that. After so many years I made this today.
It was raining heavily for the past 3 days and thought this will be a perfect one to enjoy this weather. When I had the first sip, it gave me a lot of nostalgic memories of our childhood in our Madurai house.
This is a vegan coffee with simple ingredients like coriander seeds, sukku | dry ginger, pepper, and cardamom. Also, check out sulaimani tea, karupatti coffee

Notes
coffee looks flavourful delicious pictures
Hai jeyashri, very delicious kaapi. We add jaggery instead of kalkand. Your recipes are very easy to make and they come out really well. Thankyou
Hi Jeyashri,
Good to see a traditional recipe 🙂
Just a caution about using whole dry ginger. Make sure that you peel off the skin before using. Most of the time, its skin contains insecticides and hence it is toxic. Even if you are going to filter it before consuming, its better to peel before cooking. Otherwise, its toxicity will be in the decoction prepared. This is just a tip, not meant to hurt you 🙂
Thanks,
Made this flavourful kaapi with panavellam when I had indigestion .. It was a good relief .. Thanks for the recipe..
