As explained in my earlier post Sundal/chundal a variety of prasad which is prepared during navratri with various lentils. Some are salty and spicy whereas some are sweet.
This one is my personal favorite. Made from lal chowli / red cowpeas or lobia it's sweet and sticky which increases it's yummyness count more.
Ingredients
Lal chowli - 1 cup
Jaggery - 3/4 cup
Coconut -1/2 cup
Cardamom powder - 1 tsp
Vanilla icecream..optional
Method
1) Wash , add little water and keep the cowpeas to cook in a pressure cooker. 3 whistles on medium flame.
2) Take out after pressure goes and drain the water. Mash the peas slightly with a spoon. If not cooked well recook it.
3) In the water that is drained and keep add the jaggery and keep on heat. Once it melts strain it through a sieve for impurities and again keep on gas. Let is come to a good boil and reduce.
4) Add the mashed peas to the jaggery , give a good stir and let it cook together for about 2 to 3 minutes.
5) Then add the coconut grated and cardamom powder and stir in all together. All will form a thick mass together this is the indication that the dish is ready.
6) Offer to goddess and serve hot or cold. Can also try to variate by adding vanilla icecream.
