Soak the green gram for half an hour.

Wash it properly and  pressure cook  by adding 1/2 cup of water and salt .

One whistle is enough.Open the cooker after 10 minutes.If u feel that its not cooked enough cook for few more minutes.

For puzhukku green gram should be cooked well..

When its ready keep aside

Now crush red chilly,green chilly,garlic(opt) and small onion  together .Dont make them paste ..

Heat coconut oil in a pan.Add these crushed mixture and curry leaves .Saute till its raw smell goes.

When done add cooked green gram and mix well ..Check the salt .

Finally add grated coconut .Mix well .Cook for 2 minutes in low flame By that time all water left in the gram would be gone ..The puzhukku should be dry.

Then remove from the fire and transfer in to a serving plate.Garnish with curry leaves
