Vella Sundal |Sweet Sundal made using Pachai payaru | Green gram | Pasi payaru | Green moong dal with step-by-step pictures, and tips to cook the green moong dal perfect for sundal. Sundal is made for Navaratri neivedyam and I have already posted many Sundal varieties in Jeyashris kitchen. When was making a list of what to post for Navaratri, I realized I hadn’t posted Sundal using pachai payaru. And many times I have tasted this sundal in a friend’s house, and most of the time it was mushy. Green gram tends to get mushy so quickly but if you cook it properly it will retain it’s shape. I have given the tip to cook it perfectly in this post. Check out my collection of Navaratri Sweets and Sundal recipes.
