Paasi Paruppu Sundal Recipe/Moong Dal Sundal – Navarathri Special Sundal

Wishing all my lovely friends and readers a very “Happy Navaratri”. Navaratri is a festival dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga. Navaratri means nine nights, during these nine nights and ten days, nine forms of Shakthi are worshipped. In Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, a special display of dolls and figurines (Golu) in the odd numbered steps (padis) will be held in the houses and temples. This year Navaratri is celebrated from Oct 5, 2013 to Oct 13, 2013. All these nine nights special poojas are performed and neivedhyams like sundals and payasams are offered to the Goddess and distributed as prasad to all the family members and to the guests visiingt our house.  Today being the first day of Navaratri, I am sharing a very simple, quick and easy paasi paruppu sundal/moong dal sundal with you all. Check the other sundal varieties and payasam varieties here. Please click on Navaratri Specials  for more details about Golu and Navaratri celebrations.

Method

Wash and soak the moong dal/paasi paruppu for 15 - 20 minutes.

Drain the water, fill it with fresh water and cook it directly on  stove along with salt  and turmeric powder for about 8-10 minutes.


The cooked dal should be soft but not mushy. Drain the water from the cooked dal completely and keep it aside.


Heat oil in a kadai, splutter mustard seeds, then add urad dal, green chillies, red chillies, asafoetida and curry leaves and saute until urad dal turns colour.


Now add the cooked dal and toss it for a minute.


Finally add the grated coconut and mix it thoroughly for one more minute and switch off the stove.

Delicious and healthy sundal is ready for neivedhyam or as a quick evening snack.
