En Anubhavam


Felt very hungry one night and didn't have stamina to cook vegetable soochi or make dosa so my husband asked to prepare this payaru sundal. Actually it is a healthy tiffen. It is also easy to make and tasty sundal with limited ingredients.

As it didn't came well when i prepared first time, so before starting i called my mom and checked the recipe again. I want to know from her particularly the water and rice proportion. After that i started preparing. It took hardly 5 mins to fry and put in a pressure pan. Within half an hour it will be ready to eat.

Ingredients:-
Boiled rice - 1 cup
Green mung dhal (Pachai payaru) - 1/2 cup
Water - 3 cup
Salt - To taste
Red chili - 2 (i removed the seeds in the chili as we don't want to be spicy)
Curry leaves - 2 string
Onion - 1 chopped finely (optional)
Sesame oil - 1 tbsp
Grated coconut - 1 tbsp
Mustard seed - 1/2 tsp
Split urad dhal - 1 tbsp
Asafoetida - 1/2 tsp
