Karamani Fruit Pachadi is a delightful and nutritious dish that combines the earthy flavors of cooked cowgram with a sweet jaggery syrup and fresh fruits. To prepare, soak the cowgram overnight, then pressure cook it until tender, ensuring it retains its shape. Meanwhile, create a thick syrup by boiling jaggery powder with water and combining it with the cooked cowgram. In a large bowl, mix assorted fruit pieces with honey, then fold in the jaggery-cowgram mixture. After chilling for at least an hour, this refreshing pachadi is ready to serve, offering a perfect blend of sweetness and health.
