Pasi paruppu sundal | payatham paruppu Sunday | moong dal sundal is Protein rich kids friendly healthy Sundal. Tasty after-school snacks for kids. Flavorful pasi paruppu sundal is perfect for the Navaratri recipe.
Why Moong dal Sundal?
During Navaratri, if you are looking for a quick Sundal recipe, pasi paruppu sundal is one tasty option. I generally soak dal for 1 hour but if you forgot to soak you can just soak for additional time and prepare this Sundal. With leftover soaked dal, sundal can be prepared in less than 10 minutes.
Can I cook pasi paruppu in the pressure cooker or instant pot?
Personally, I like no mushy Payatham paruppu sundal hence I don’t pressure cook dal. Even my toddler enjoys soft press dal texture. Based on your preferred texture you can add extra water and cook for additional time accordingly.
Do I need to measure water for soaking?
I prefer doing it as I don’t cook moong dal with excess water and discard the water. To retain the nutrients I add water as required.
Is turmeric powder a must for sundal?
No, I like the appetizing color turmeric powder gives to the sundal hence I prefer adding it all the time. You can skip it according to your choice.
Why coconut oil for Sundal?
I like coconut oil flavor for coconut-based recipes. If you are not a big fan of coconut oil, you can use any cooking oil of your choice.
Should I deseed chili?
No, to make it toddler-friendly I prefer deseeding chilli.
