Pasi paruppu sundal is loaded with protein. Moong dal sundal is healthy snacks for kids. If you have leftover cooked dal, payatham paruppu sundal can be prepared within 10 minutes.
Its day 1 of navaratri. gollu festival is so close to my heart, it is the only time myself and my sister actively participate. My father help us in setting the kollu stand. Myself and my sis cover the stand with veshti (dhoti). Amma tells us at which step what dolls needs to be placed. We both happily arrange it. After keeping all th dolls we set cricket set in one corner, Zoo in other side, and put mustard seeds all around both set (It will emerge into small plants). I love putting rangoli, so I put kolam in a small plate and decorate beads in another plate.
Lots and lots of memories. Fun part of gollu is inviting people. Evening friends come home to see gollu, sing songs and it was a great time to meet many people. Here I don’t have many dolls, Last year I had no dolls so I kept the toys we got for Vishvak. This year we have very few swami idol. In my closet turned Sami room I kept few small Sami idol. During our next India trip I should start collecting.
Kept gollu now its time to prepare prasadam. As always big confusion phase started, to decide on Sundal. Yesterday I asked Jagadish. Usually if i ask him anything he tells me whatever you like, but to my wonder he said pasi paruppu sundal. When he tells me suggestion I am so happy, I need not break my mind for options also if the suggestion is easy sundal like this who will tell no.
Pasi paruppu sundal one of my favorite Sundal. Protein rich tasty delight to start the pooja. Some pressure cook moong dal and make it mushy here is a Sundal with different texture. This is my preference you can cook it however you like.
Other sundal varieties,
Ingredients:
Moong Dal – 1/3 cup
Coconut – 2 tbsp + 1/2 tbsp
Turmeric Powder – pinch
Salt – as needed
To temper:
Coconut oil – 1/2 tbsp
Mustard seeds – 1/8 tsp
Urad Dal – 1/2 tsp (I used split one)
Channa dal – 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves – few
Red Chillies – 1 (Adjust according to your spice level)
Asofetida/Hing – generous pinch
Method:
- Soak moong dal in Luke warm water for 1-2 hours and strain it
- In pan on medium heat boil water (around 2 cups) with little salt, once the water starts boiling add the moong dal. Cook for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent dal from sticking to the bottom of the pan (time may change,cook till the dal is soft when pressed with fingers; that ensures the dal is cooked)
- Switch off, wash it with cold water and strain the water and drizzle a drop of oil and mix gently
- Add oil to pan and when oil is hot add the ingredients listed under “to temper” and let the mustard seed crackle. Add the cooked dal, turmeric powder, little salt ( as we have already added salt while cooking dal) and mix well; cook for a minute
- Add coconut and switch off. Serve hot. Great evening snack is ready:-)
