பச்சைப்பயறு சாலட்

By Ganesan Kannan

15 mins Serves 4 Easy Tirunelveli

A crisp, no-cook green gram salad built around 1 cup cooked green gram, finished with a South Indian mustard tempering.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    Wash and prepare 1 cup cooked green gram — chop, grate or cube as the recipe needs.

  2. 2

    Cook the gram in open water so the grains stay separate, drain, and mix with coconut and ginger while warm.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil, crackle mustard and urad dal with curry leaves, and pour this tempering over the mix.

  4. 4

    Add salt and the dressing only just before serving, and toss lightly with your fingertips.

  5. 5

    Serve the green gram salad fresh and cool as a side with rice or as a light meal on its own.
