How to make dry black gram - Dry Black Gram Recipe in English

 

First, we will take black gram in a utensil and wash it thoroughly with clean water 1 to 2 times, after that pour clean water in the utensil and soak it in black gram for at least 12 to 14 hours. If you cannot keep black gram soaked for so long, then you must make black gram by soaking it in hot water for at least 1 to 2 hours.

When the time is over, we will boil the gram, for this we will take a cooker, and put black gram in it, and add some clean drinking water. If you want to drink black gram soup, then increase the amount of water, and add some salt as per taste. Put water in the cooker, close the lid of the cooker and put it on the gas and light the gas.

 

Steam will start forming in the cooker, and when the cooker whistles, reduce the flame of the gas, and let the gas burn for another 3-5 minutes, this will cook your black gram completely. After 3-5 minutes, turn off the gas, and take the cooker off the gas and keep it down.

When the steam of the cooker is over, open its lid, and if you had put more water for the soup, then take out your soup separately from the cooker, and take out the black gram separately.

 

Now we roast black gram, for this take a pan, and put it on the gas and light the gas. After this, when the pan becomes slightly hot, add oil to it and let the oil heat up.

When your oil becomes hot, put some cumin seeds in it, and roast it, when the cumin seeds are fried a little, then you put the rest of your spices in it, like ginger, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala, mango powder, green chili, salt as per taste, green chilies, chana masala etc. If you want, you can also add a little tomato, this will make the taste of black grams even better.

Now mix all these spices well, and then put your boiled gram in it and roast it with a spoon for 6-8 minutes. Note that all the water that was in the gram should be gone, till then you have to roast it. Now your dried black gram is ready, put it in a nice bowl, garnish it with green coriander and serve it to eat.
