Green Gram Brahmin Style



If you are looking out for a gram dish with no onion, garlic or ginger then do give this simple green gram side dish a try. I had seen this recipe in a Maharashtran Brahmin cookery show.

 

You can make this with black eyed peas and brown gram too, they all taste great.

 

For festivals this simple green gram side dish is eaten with coconut rice, pickle ,yogurt and papad.

It makes a great combo and is very light on your tummy too. Hope you try it out.

1/2 cup green gram soaked for 8 hrs.

 

1 tsp mustard seeds

 

1 tbs grated coconut

 

1 tsp turmeric

 

2 tsp red chili powder

 

2 tsp grated jaggery

 

1 tsp hing

 

Lots of coriander

 

Salt to taste

 

Add oil and the mustard seeds, after they splutter add hing, quickly add the turmeric and red chili powder along with the soaked green gram.

Saute for a min and add the grated coconut and jaggery.

Add a little bit of the chopped coriander leaves and salt too.

Pressure cook for 2 whistles adding very little water.

Once done mix in the rest of the coriander.

This dish is made with very less chili but again you can always add ingredient's to your taste.
