Green Gram Sundal - Sweet Version

Heat oil in a kadai and roast the green gram till it starts to splutter with nice aroma. It takes 5-7 mins in high flame. Keep on mixing otherwise it would burn.

After roasting , soak them in water for 1-2 hours.

Then in a pressure cooker , take the soaked dal with water just to cover them . Add a drop of oil and a pinch of salt .

Pressure cook them . The dal should not be mushy. It should be separate.

After the steam goes, open the cooker & transfer the dal to a colander to drain the excess water.

In the mean time ,take the powdered jaggery covered with little water and make a syrup.

After the jaggery is melted, strain it to remove the impurities.

Then heat it till it becomes frothy, thick and the raw smell of jaggery gets removed.

At this stage , switch of the flame and add the cardamom powder .

Add the cooked dal to the jaggery syrup and mix well with a fork like ladle to avoid dals turning mushy..

Finally add the grated coconut and mix well.

Initially u may find this sundal is mushy & together. After it completely cools down , it will be separate & very tasty.

Do try this friends. U’ll love it for sure.
