As Navaratri season is starting, I will be posting some traditional sundal recipes in Jeyashri’s kitchen. We have a good collection of Navaratri sundal recipes and a Collection of Navaratri neivedyam recipes. This pasi paruppu sundal is a very simple one but we need to be a little careful while cooking it.

I remember my grandma making this one not only during navaratri evenings but also on regular days and we used to enjoy this healthy evening snack. Amma and paati make it so perfect and never let the dal overcooked. The main key in the recipe is not to get the dal overcooked. The aroma of ginger and green chili compliment the taste of the moong dal sundal.
