Green Gram Sweet Sundal is a sundal that we prepare for Navarathri. In Navarathri we make Sundal every day for Prasad and invite friends and relatives to see our Golu, offer them Haldi, Kumkum , Thamboolan along with the Sundal and other Prasad. We can make both Savory or sweet version of Sundal varieties. Conventionally we make Savory sundal most of the times for Prasad. For few days in Navarathri we can also make Sweet Sundal for a difference. We can make Sweet Sundal with Green Moong, Cow peas, Bengal Gram. We can also mix all these 3 dal and make Mixed Sweet Sundal. This recipe explains how to make Green Gram Sweet Sundal (Pacha Payiru Vella Sundal).
Sundal made using Green bean or Green Moong is so healthy and also nutritious. It has an excellent source of variable nutrients and protein. Along with this Green moong, we are going to use jaggery which is another ingredient that is rich in Iron. Combining these 2 nutritious ingredients, makes this Sundal very healthy and also tasty.

Making Green Gram Sweet Sundal

- Now, add the cooked Green gram and give a nice mix

Serving Time

Notes
- Soaking Green gram helps to cook the dal easily. If we forgot to soak, we can dry roast the dal till its light brown and then pressure cook for about 3 whistles. We can even cook the soaked dal in an open pan but that will be time consuming
- At first the sundal looks soggy but if we keep cooking in low flame, the jaggery juice will be absorbed and the sundal will not be sticky.
