Tips for Vada Pappu Recipe

1. Ensure the moong dal is soaked properly, for a minimum of 30 minutes at least.
2. Also drain the water thoroughly from the moong dal, before mixing with other ingredients.
3. Prepare the vadapappu recipe just before naivedyam, else water oozes out from cucumber and salt.
4. Even 1 tbsp of grated raw mango and carrot can be added along with cucumber.
5. If using raw mango, reduce the lemon juice quantity to 1/2 tsp.
6. Additionally, It can be tempered with mustard seeds also. If preparing for Sri Rama Navami naivedyam, skip the tempering part.
