  • ½ cup green gram dal / pacha payaru
  • ¼ cup jaggery

Instructions

  • Dry roast the green gram until nice aroma comes, for around 5-6 minutes. Make sure it does not burn.

  • 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
