Instructions
- Dry roast moong dal till nice aroma comes and is slightly golden, don't let the color change to brown.
- Now add water till immersing level along with salt and cook it. The grains should be separate... but when you press each dal, it should be soft that is the correct way to cook moong dal for sundal. This may take just 3-5mins.

- Rinse sago well with water and soak sago overnight or for at least 4 hrs with enough water just to immerse it well...Dont add more water as it will become mushy.

Notes
- Soaking sago overnight is recommended but be very careful while adding water.
- I used sago which is used for upma, you can try with nylon sago too. In that case you need to cook it in water and then add it.
- Moong dal should be cooked perfectly with grains separated. It should be soft at the same time retain its shape that's the correct way of cooking moong dal for sundal varieties. So take care while cooking as it cooks faster and easily gets overcooked so be near and keep stirring and have an eye while cooking moong dal.
- Dry roasting moong dal gives a nice flavour to the sundal so don't skip it.
- If you overcook sago then it will turn rubbery and chewy.
