Ingredients
Green gram / cherupayar – 1 cup
Water – As required
Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
Grated coconut – 1 1/4 cup
Cumin seeds – 1/2 tsp
Green chilies – 2 – 3
Garlic – 2 small cloves
Hot water – As required
Coconut oil – 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
Dried red chilly – 1, broken
Pearl onions – 4 – 5, thinly sliced
Curry leaves – A few
Method: Grind grated coconut with cumin seeds, green chilies and garlic to a very fine paste. Pressure cook the green gram adding turmeric powder and enough water (around 1.5 cups) for 1 – 2 whistles until done. The green gram should be slightly mashed up. Add the ground coconut paste, 1 cup hot water, salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 6 – 7 minutes until the curry turns medium thick. The curry will thicken a lot over time so adjust the consistency accordingly. Switch off. Serve with rice and other side-dishes.
Happy Cooking!
