One more fantastic addition to the category of legume salad or kalugala usli, using whole green gram or hesarukalu or sabut hara moong.

Be it any kind of usli, we make them regularly very often. It is a very good accompaniment with tili saaru/rasam, so during summer it is made more and more ie very often

So below is the recipe made in my way for very easy, quick, tasty, yummy and healthy, low-fat, high fiber source of protein hesarukalu usli/whole green gram salad.

I always cook the green gram in an open pan, but it can be pressure cooked as well up to 2 whistles or until soft

Ingredients : measuring cup used – 250 ml

Whole green gram/hesarukalu – 1 cup
Water – 3 cups
Grated fresh coconut – 1/2 cup
Oil – 1/2 tbsp
Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
Green chili – 1 tbsp
Coriander leaves – 2 tbsp
Curry leaves – 1 tbsp
Sugar – 1/4 tsp
Lemon juice – 1 or 2 tsp
Salt – to taste (I have put 1 tsp)

PROCEDURE :

Pressure cooker method :

Boil 3 cups of water in a pressure cooker, add in rinsed green gram and cook until two whistle (or depending on your cooker, because one whistle is enough in my cooker)
Then heat oil in a pan, add in mustard seeds, green chili, coriander leaves, curry leaves, then add in pressure cooked green gram, stir once, add in salt, sugar and coconut, give it a good mix, remove from the heat and add in lemon juice

Open cooking method :

Heat oil in a pan, add in mustard seeds, when they crackle, add in green chilies, coriander leaves, curry leaves, stir once and add in water

When the water is boiling rapidly, add in rinsed green gram, stir well, when it is rapidly boiling again, turn the heat to medium and allow it to get cooked
