Green Gram Salad

We all love green gram and since its healthy and gets cooked really fast, I usually make a variety of dishes with us. From the regular stir fry and gravy it can be made into a salad, murukku, sweet and payasam. The recipe that is mentioned here is of a salad. This can be had either as breakfast/dinner or an evening snack.
It is very healthy and filling. The salad will be more nutritious if made with sprouted green gram.

Ingredients

Cooked green gram – 1 cup
1 onion chopped
1 tomato chopped
1 small cucumber chopped
1 carrot grated
2 dried red chilles
Coriander leaves to garnish
2 tbsp curd
1 tsp oil

Method

Cook the green gram using pressure cooker for 2 whistles. In a pan add oil and fry ½ the chopped onion. Add 2 red chilles and the green gram with salt and mix well for 5 minutes. In a bowl take the green gram mixture and add the remaining chopped onion, tomato, and cucumber, carrot, coriander leaves, salt to taste and mix well. Finally garnish with curd and serve.

This salad tastes best when eaten cold.
