Ingredients
Pachai payaru in Tamil, is widely known as simply Mung bean, also green moong bean. It is even available in Fairprice in Singapore.
These beans are very easy to cook comparatively to other legumes, just like yellow lentils (moong dal).
Even you can make the same sundal with sprouted pachai payaru. Have made before, but have not clicked it.
This year as Navaratri is just few days away, thought of sharing this simple sundal recipe.
You can follow this same for green gram sprouts too. Just steam it for short time as sprouts gets cooked easily.
If you want you can sprinkle a dash of lemon juice for extra zing in the recipe.
Green mung takes less time to get soaked and cooked. So soaking just for 2-3 hours is enough.
Also 2 whistles is enough for cooking the green moong.
