Moong Dal Sundal Recipe | Pasi Paruppu Sundal

Moong Dal Sundal Recipe | Pasi Paruppu Sundal with stepwise pics and a short YouTube video.  Also, if you like my video, please share it and don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel. This is such an easy peasy sundal recipe that can be made in a jiffy, no overnight soaking is required, just 10 minutes of stovetop work is what you need. I soaked the moong dal for 1 hour which helps to quicken the cooking process but if you are running out of time, you can directly boil the dal too. If you are a beginner in the kitchen, just note the dal should be cooked for a maximum time of 5 minutes only, that is not under or overcooked, not crunchy or mushy. As festivals like Aadi Perukku, Varalakshmi Nombu, Ganesh Chathurthi are lining up, I shared this recipe now, which will be useful at least to some of my readers.
