Notes

  • If you forget soaking green gram, then you can try pressure cooking it directly.
  • This tastes mild spicy, for additional spicy-ness include one more green chilly.
  • Never cook soaked green gram in seasoning because green gram doesn't cook so easily in seasoning.
  • Include generous amount of fresh grated coconut for wonderful taste.
