Notes
- Roasting moong dal – Roasting the dal before cooking adds a deep, roasted flavor and a crunchy texture to the dish.
- Cooking time – The dal should be soft but not mushy. It should retain its shape while being tender to the bite.
- Water – After cooking, strain the excess water and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Lemon juice – A squeeze of fresh lime or lemon juice just before serving can add a tangy flavor that enhances the overall taste.
- Roasted peanuts – Adds extra crunch and protein to the dish.
- Spice level – You can add a pinch of red chili powder or chopped green chilies to the tempering for a spicier taste.
- Freshness – A little bit of fresh cilantro or mint can add a refreshing flavor to the sundal.
