Tweet

Its been raining sundal at home these days not because of navaratri but for posting it here :) As we dont have the practise of keeping kollu at home, I have seen kollu only once at my friends place. I made green gram (pachai payaru) sundal last week to post it here....Amma makes the sweet version too by adding jaggery. 

I can hear some of you asking for the 'food and travel' post as I promised....I had no time to prepare for a lengthy post today so here am leaving you with this simple sundal. But sure to post it by next weekend :)

Green Gram Sundal Recipe - Ingredients

Serves: 2

Cooking & Preparation Time: 15 mins

Green Gram - 1 cup
Grated Coconut - 3 tbsp
Salt - to taste

To temper:

Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
Urad Dal - 1 tsp
Hing - a generous pinch
Red Chillies - 1
Curry leaves - few
Oil - 1 tsp

Method:

1.Soak green gram overnight or atleast for 8 hours. Pressure cook green gram for 3-4 whistles or until soft, Set aside. 

2.Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, urad dal let it splutter then add curry leaves and red chillies saute for a minute. Then add cooked green gram.
3.Add required salt , then coconut, give a quick stir....saute for 2mins till all is combined and switch it off.

If you want the sweet version add powdered jaggery while adding the green gram itself. Serve hot / warm.

My Notes:

• I always add little cooked water and let it evaporate so that the sundal is a bit moist and not too dry.

• You can add a tsp of jaggery and make it as sweet sundal too.

• Adjust coconut according to your preference.
