Moong Dal Sundal

Moong Dal Sundal

My Favorite Sundal.....  During Golu, i used to eat only Moong Dal among all other sundals..

It is my husband's Favorite too.. And it can be made in a jiffy... No overnight soaking needed!!!! Even if we forget to soak dal overnight, we can immediately prepare this....
