Cherupayar Wine Recipe / Green Gram Wine Recipe / Mung Bean Wine Recipe/ / Mung Dal Wine
Are you surprised orintrigued to read today’s recipe name? Even I was amazed when I got a requestfrom one of my readers,for germinated green gram wine. It was the firsttime I was hearing about green gram wine and never in my wildest thoughts hadIever imagined of making wine with green gram / cherupayar. But he assured methat someone in Kerala makes thewine from germinated green gram and whoever hadthe winesaiditis one of the tastiest. He requested me to ferret out the recipe from somesource.The idea circled in my headfor several days and I searched all my recipe collection and over the internettoo without any luck.Thisforced me to put on my thinking cap todevelop my own recipe and experiment. So I made a small quantity of winewithout germinating the green gram / cherupayar and guess what, it was a hugehit!!! This wine is one ofmybest experiments and whoeverhastasteditso far havetold me it is one of the best and tastiest wine! I willdefinitely try with germinated green gram nexttosee the differencein taste.... If you love homemade wine do try this recipe and let me know theresult;I am sure you will love it :) :)

Whelp, some of her earlier recipes said that water might mess things up and bitter the wine, this could be the case.

Hi Swapna,
This blog was recommended by my neighbour. I made wine for the first time using this recipe. It came out very well. Thank you so much for posting.

Hi
I'm a great fan of your recipes - particularly the wine recipes. I wish to know if there is a substitute for lime or lemon juice. Can I use the store bought lime and lemon juice concentrate, instead of the fresh juice?
Thanks and kind regards,
Bahaar
