Sarkkara payar

Made a quickie sweet the other day, since I had some boiled pacha payar (green gram) ready. Kiddoos would love this.

Ingredients:

Green gram (pacha payar) – 50 grams

Jaggery – 25 grams

Coconut (grated) – 20 grams

Cardamom powder - little

Salt – a pinch.

Method:

• Soak the green gram (pacha payar) overnight.
• Pressure cook the green gram until it is soft and mushy.
• In a kadai, add the jaggery and little water. Let the jaggery melt.
• Add a drop of milk to remove the impurities.
• Let the jaggery boil for about 2 minutes.
• Add a pinch of salt, the coconut and the boiled green gram.
• Stir and let the mixture thicken.
• Add cardamom powder and remove from heat.

Serve hot or cold.
