Moong dal sundal or pasi paruppu sundal is one staple recipe mom makes so easily and perfectly.
Teeny tiny moong dal cooked softly and perfectly made to sundal tastes great.
I have never seen the moong dal turned mushy. Also I love the texture.
My mom says moong dal should be cooked perfectly. And I too make sure it gets cooked just right, that even my MIL appreciates me for that 😉 .
This can be made instantly and easily, which makes perfect for navratri. Gives so much volume too.
So try this simple sundal for this navarathri. And thank you Jeyashri for the cute pillayar idols as gift for my golu. Much needed one 🙂
