Notes
- Cooking – I cook the toor dal until it is mashable, but make sure the grains still hold their shape.
- Do not overcook – I usually keep checking the dal while it cooks. Overcooking can make it too soft and may turn the sundal mushy.
- Drain well – I just drain the cooked dal before adding it to the tempering. Excess water can make the sundal too moist.
- Sauteing – I toss the cooked dal with the tempering and saute until the extra moisture has gone.
- Coconut at end – I add the coconut after sauteing the dal and toss it well so it mixes evenly without making the sundal wet.
