Thank you for visiting my site and trying the recipe. You are right. For health point of view, we can reduce the ghee whever we prepare it for our consumption. If it is for party or for distribution we can add little more ghee to get the rich taste. Moreover, when we prepare for party etc, the share per person will be less and will not be a health problem.
Green gram dhal here refers to paasi payaru or paasi paruppu…? I mean yellow (without skin) one or green with skin? – Jay
Green gram dhal is Paasi Paruppu also known as payatham paruppu (the yellow dhal without skin).
Okkarai came out well! Thanks:)
I could have put little more ghee to make it more tastier. From health point of view, mine was not too bad!
Thanks for the recipe!

Can dry coconut gratings be used or is it much better to use fresh coconut scrapings? Thanks, Hema
Fresh coconut will enhance the flavour.
