Navaratri is a festival that is celebrated for nine days. In India a different legume is cooked each day and served to God and then to visitors. Normally a savory version is made and I had been wanting to make the sweet version for a while although I was skeptical because I prefer savory stuff. Finally, managed to squeeze it in and was pleasantly surprised at the taste because there was only a hint of sweetness and the salad tasted great. Feel free to increase the quantity of jaggery if you prefer a much sweeter version. Off to the recipe.
