Kadalai Paruppu Sundal

I make this sundal as a 'neivedhyam' for goddess Lakshmi on fridays. This is also served on one of the 9 days of Navrathri.

My husband has a great liking to this sundal and i often make this as a snack for him to have after he returns from office.

Here is the recipe

Ingredients

Kadalai paruppu - 1 cup

oil - 1 tblsp

mustard seeds - 1 tsp

Green chillies - 3-4

Grated coconut - 3 tblsp

Method

Boil Kadalai paruppu(Channa dal) in a pressure cooker. Make sure that the channa dal is not overcooked. Drain when done.

In a kadai, heat oil, add mustard seeds, green chillies, asafoetida, curry leaves. Fry for a minute.

Add the kadalai paruppu, a little salt and cook for few minutes.
