Notes
- Roasting moong dal – Roasting the dal before cooking adds a deep, roasted flavour and a crunchy texture to the dish, so do not miss this step. Rinse it after roasting.
- Cooking time – The dal should be soft but not mushy. It should retain its shape while being soft still has a bite. This is the trickiest part of this sundal.
- Water – After cooking, strain the excess water and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Lemon juice – You can add little lemon juice just before serving which adds 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 more spice.
- Freshness – A little bit of fresh cilantro or mint can add a refreshing flavor to the sundal.
