Pasi payaru aka whole green gram is one of the healthy pulses.It is also called as mung beans.I usually boil it and serve as an after-school snack for kids.Its can had a such or with some sugar ,I mostly prefer sweet version.With navarathiri people may lack ideas what to cook for sundal.With this legume, you can easily make sundal in no time.
For easy cooking we need to soak else can also cook as such without soaking which takes some time.Since I kept immersed in water for more time some beans sprouted.Let us see how to make this quick snack.
Ingredients:
- Pasi payaru/mung beans-1 cup
- Oil-2 tsp
- Mustard seeds-1 tsp
- Hing/asafoetida-1\2 tsp
- Whole red chilly-1
- Sundal podi/Idli millagai podi-1 tsp (see notes)
- Turmeic powder-1\4 tsp
- Salt- to taste
- Grated coconut-2 tbsp
Method:
1.Soak payaru for 4-6 hours.Then discard water and cook in open vessel as it gets cooked faster.
2.Heat oil in a pan.Add mustard seeds,red chilly,hing one by one.Then add cooked beans.
3.Add in sundal podi/idli millagai podi, turmeric powder and salt.Mix it well.
4.Keep sauting for 2-3 minutes.Switch off and add grated coconut.
Healthy snack is ready.
Notes:
1.Instead of idli podi/sundal podi can use red chilly powder and cumin/jeera powder.
Drooling at that sundal... I could easily eat up the whole thing!
