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.
