Karamani Sweet Sundal | Cow Gram Sweet Sundal

In a month atleast 1 Friday for the evening puja Naivedyam, Amma makes a sweet. Karamani Payaru | Cow Gram Sweet Sundal is our favourite as its made with Vellam | Jaggery | Gur and the Karamani Payaru is very nutritious. This combination is just awesome!

Appa loves this and during Navratri Amma makes this during one of the 9 days. This is also made as a sweet during Thottil Podal | Cradle Ceremony of newborn! Sometimes Amma makes this for Thai Poosam also!

Ingredients:

100 gm Karamani Payaru | Cow Gram

100 gm Jaggery | Gur | Vellam, grated

1/2 tsp Ghee | Clarified Butter

1/2 tsp Elaichi | Cardamom Powder

1 tsp Coconut, freshly grated

Method:

In a pan, heat the Karamani Payaru for just 2 minutes. This is done so that even after the Sundal is made, the Payaru remains soft.
Pressure cook the Payaru for 7 whistles.
In a thick-bottom Kadhai, add the grated Jaggery and the cooked Karamani Payaru. Stir well.
Add the ghee.
Cook till the water evaporates.
Switch off the gas. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and grated coconut. Mix well.
Serve hot / cold.

This is very easy to make and tastes so delicious. We do hope you will try this and share your experience with us! Hoping to hear from you soon...
