Pacha Payaru Sundal ( Sweet Variety ) / Pacha Payaru Vella Sundal / Green Gram Sweet Sundal – Navaratri Recipes

This is one recipe which we make quite often. But not everytime we add jaggery into this. We make it without any sweetness and add some sugar while eating. I will post the savoury version soon. For now i am giving you the traditional way of making this sweet sundal.
