Ingredients

  • ½ cup green gram dal / pacha payaru
  • ¼ cup jaggery
  • ¼ tsp cardamom powder
  • 1 tsp ghee
  • 2 tbsp grated coconut

Instructions

  • Dry roast the green gram until nice aroma comes, for around 5-6 minutes. Make sure it does not burn.
  • Soak the green gram in water for 2 hours. Drain the water. Add water just to immerse it and pressure cook for 1-2 whistles or until soft.
  • Mix jaggery with 1-2 tbsp water and melt it. Strain it to remove impurities. Transfer this to a vessel, add cardamom powder and bring to boil.
  • Once it starts to become sticky, add the green gram, ghee and mix gently. Cook till all the water evaporates.
  • Add grated coconut and combine. Cook for another minute and remove from heat.

Notes

  • Make sure the dal does not turn too soft or mushy.
  • The sundal might look mushy, but once it cools down the dal will be separated.
