Cooked Green Gram with Coconut/ Cherupayar Vevichathu/ Cooked Moongdal with Coconut
.jpg)
This is a very easy recipe. This dish is mainly had with Rice porridge ( Kanji) in Kerala. The recipe is a variation from the usual Green gram recipe. This one goes well with Roti as well.
Cooking green gram is not that difficult if we pressure cook it. 3-4 whistles would be perfectly fine for cooking it. I prefer it a little mushy so I go till 4 whistles. If you don't want it to be so soft you can stop at the 3rd whistle. Another way to cook it, is to soak the green gram overnight and then cook it in an open vessel, so you can see till which consistency you want it. If you choose to pressure cook soaked gram, don't go over 2 whistles.
