Ingredients
- ½ cup green moong dal green gram dal
- 2 teaspoon oil
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
- ½ teaspoon urad dal
- 2 red chillies
- 1 small sprig curry leaves
- ⅛ teaspoon hing
- water as needed
- salt to taste
Instructions
- To a bowl add ½ cup green gram dal rinse it well then add water till immersing level and soak for 8 hours or overnight.
- I usually soak it overnight. Next day drain water, rinse and set aside.
- To a pan add green gram dal along with water. Water should be little above green gram dal.
- Add salt to taste.
- Cook until it turns soft. It takes 10-12 minutes to get cooked.
- Check by pressing, it should be soft but not mushy.
- Drain water and set aside.
- To a pan add 2 teaspoon oil. Add ½ teaspoon mustard seeds let it splutter. Then add ½ teaspoon urad dal, 2 red chillies, a small sprig curry leaves and ⅛ teaspoon hing. Give a quick saute.
- Now add cooked green gram, add little salt if needed. Give a quick saute.
- Add 4 tablespoon grated coconut.
- Give a quick mix and switch off.
- Pacha payaru sundal is ready!
Notes
- Soaking - Soaking green gram dal for minimum 6 hours is must. For faster soaking you can soak in hot water but without soaking it takes long time to cook also it won't be softly cooked.
- Adding salt - I usually add salt while cooking green gram and also add it while sauteing with spices.
- Cooking - If using cooker, pressure cook for 1 whistle in medium flame. I usually cook in open pot so that is does not mush up.
- Spices - You can add cumin seeds too, replace red chillies with green chillies too.
- Coconut - Add more coconut as sundal always tastes great with coconut.
