Green Gram Sweet Sundal is made with Green Gram (Moong), Jaggery and coconut gratings. The green gram is soaked overnight.
This sweet Sundal is a delightful and nutritious dish made from green gram. The preparation begins with dry frying the moong until it changes color and releases a pleasant aroma. The fried moong is soaked for 6 hours or overnight. Then, it is washed and cooked until soft. Cooking is done in an open vessel to keep texture.
Next, jaggery is dissolved in water, boiled, and strained to create jaggery water, which is then boiled again. The cooked moong is added to the bubbling jaggery water and stirred continuously until well mixed. Finally, cardamom powder and grated coconut are mixed in. The dish is then removed from the stove. The result is a sweet, aromatic sundal perfect for snacking or as a festive treat.

Jaggery Powdered – 1/2 cup
Coconut gratings – 2 to 3 tablespoons

Directions
- In a frying pan add the green gram (Moong). Dry fry till its colour changes slightly until a nice aroma comes out.
- Soak the fried gram in water for 6 hours or leave it over night.
- Wash the soaked gram and cook it in a pressure cooker for one or two whistles. Or cook it in open vessel till it is soft. (I prefer cooking this in an open vessel to guarantee that it is not overcooked and become mushy).
- Drain the excess water and keep the cooked moong aside.
- Add the jaggery in a pan and add half cup water and bring to boil. Remove and strain it.
- Add the strained jaggery water in a pan and allow to boil.
- When it starts boiling with bubbles, reduce the heat and add the cooked moong and stir well. Stir continuously till all the jaggery water and moong blends well.
- Add cardamom powder, coconut gratings and mix it well. Remove from stove.
