PACHAI PAYIRU SUNDAL/WHOLE GREEN GRAM SUNDAL

Easy to prepare !

A protein- packed snack!

Sundal, of course! 

I love making whole green gram sundal as much as I love eating it. I chop onions, green chillies, curry leaves, coriander leaves and coconut gratings and add to the boiled whole green lentils with tempering. The hint of asafoetida enhances its rich aroma. 

The mouth-watering aroma will sweep up to the living room. Irresistible!

It can get into everyone's taste buds subtly.

Let's make this nutritious sundal for this special festival day Ayudha Pooja:


Ingredients:

Whole green gram one cup
Adequate water (2 cups)
Salt one pinch
Turmeric half spoon
Shallots half cup
Green chillies two split
Sesame oil one spoon
Mustard seeds one spoon
Curry leaves one sprig
Coriander leaves finely chopped quarter cup
Ginger gratings one spoon
Shredded coconut half cup
