Ingredients
Instructions
- Start by rinsing the green gram well. Then pour in water — just enough to cover the beans by about 1½ inches.
- Add the dried chilies and peppercorns to the pot. These will infuse a gentle heat and depth of flavor as the beans cook.
- Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer. Cook until the beans swell up and begin to split — this is your sign that they’re done. The texture should be soft but not mushy.
- Turn off the heat and stir in salt to taste. That’s it!
Ubee's tips & notes
- For a savory version, I like to top it with a handful of fresh scraped coconut for a South Indian–style finish.
- For a sweet twist, I usually drizzle in some honey.
