Green mung bean sundal | Sweet sundal | Vella sundal | Inipu sundal | moong bean sundal | pachai payaru sundal is a sweet sundal prepared with jaggery, moong dal and coconut.
Pachai Payaru Vella Sundal is mostly prepared during navatri time. If you have leftover cooked green gram dal this Inipu Sundal is a great way to finish it.
Growing up Gollu always gives me lot of excitement. Arranging dolls, setting Zoo,cricket set and above all enjoying the tasty sundal and puttu in the evening after offering to god. Though savory sundal is common, Ever since childhood days, for every gollu my sweet tooth always waits for inipu sundal. Within no time I will finish my vella sundal and rush to kitchen for second serving.
Usually my Amma do this with karamani. Last week I was craving for sweet Sundal, I checked my pantry and realized I didn’t have karamani. I was sluggish to do a trip to Indian store for buying karamani. I called my Amma and told about my desire for sweet sundal and also my laziness to go for shopping. My Amma askedwhether I have pacha payiru in home, I said yes and she said to try Pachai Payaru Vella Sundal.
I rushed to my pantry and Pachai Payaru sitting there came for resue. Immediately soaked it in hot water. As I didn’t have much time I soaked it with hot water and made Pachai Payaru Vella Sundal for evening prasadam.
My husband came from work, spelling jaggery and coconut he thought I made puttu. I said its Green mung bean Inipu sundal today. He s not a big fan of pachai payaru so he didn’t give big reaction, but after finishing the bowl he asked can I have some more? I smiled and I know the answer for my question in mind, how is it:D
Previously I have posted pesarattu and Green moong bean panniyaram with pachai payaru here is a sweet treat. Navartri is over but I just realized I have pachai Payaru Vella Sundal in my draft. Instead of waiting till next year I thought I will post it today:-)
