Pachai Payaru Sundal is one of the sundal that we make during Navarathri for the God's offering and also distribution to friends and family who are visiting Golu. It's one of the sundal variety which can be made quickly and less planning as the soaking is not mandatory.
Pachai Payaru Sundal is one of the quick and easy sundal variety that we make for Navarathri using Green Moong Dal. We can make both Sweet and Savory version using Pahai Payaru (Green Moong Dal). This recipe is the savory version of the Sundal. This Green moong Sundal (Pachaipayiru Sundal) is also simple to make and it is so healthy and delicious. So protein-rich sundal that would make a healthy evening snack too.
Soaking is Optional but helps
I recommend to soak this dal for 2-3 hours and pressure cook over 2 whistles. However if you are running short of time and have not soaked the sundal, then you can dry fry the sundal for 2-3 minutes and pressure cook over 4-5 whistles.
Sundal Powder comes very handy during Navarathri season. We can add a tablespoon of Sundal powder which enhances the flavor and taste of the sundal. If you don’t have it handy then you can just add red chili powder / temper with one more red chili.
Not just for Navarathri, but a good option for the snack box
Not just for festivals and gods offering, this is also a power packed snack for the kids. It’s protein rich and filling snack. You can serve Pachai Payaru sundal as a snack with tea or side dish with rice varieties.
