Arisi sundal recipe (Pacharisi sundal)

A flavorful traditional breakfast or dinner recipe made at my home. With rice and moong dal!One day I was very much confused 😖what to make for dinner and asking my friends I chat with ,what their plans for dinner.Then suddenly 💡this simple yet very flavourful  one  I got to remember,try once,may be you like it too!  I wanted this to be in my space as this is a family favourite! My mom makes another variant too,which I will post later…This recipe  will sound like pongal+Upma…😉but trust me,the taste is nothing related to any of these dishes..!
I served with coconut thogayal,I just made a variation of adding a sprig of curry leaves in it …
