Pachai payaru kuruma ( Green gram gravy)  Preparation time 20 minsUpdating this new recipe after a very long time. I am trying many new dishes but haven't updated in the blog. One day i soaked green gram for making sundal during evening. As everyone had a very late lunch no one will eat the sundal so I thought of trying a sidedish for chapati. It was tangy, spicy so they loved the dish.
