Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup split bengal gram chana dal
  • 3 ripe plaintains chopped into thick rounds
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1 cup thick coconut milk
  • 2 cups thin coconut milk
  • 4 shallots peeled and sliced
  • 1 tsp ghee
  • A pinch salt

Instructions

  • Cook the bengal gram and set aside. I used my pressure cooker. It must be cooked, yet holding its shape.
  • In a saucepan, boil the thin coconut milk. Add the plantains and sugar and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the cooked gram, cardamom and salt and mix well.
  • Lower the flame and add the thick coconut milk. Just heat - do not boil. Swtich off and remove from fire.
  • Heat ghee and fry the shallots till browned. Add over the curry and serve warm.
