Instructions

  • Dry roast moong dal till slightly golden. set aside.
  • Boil water, once it starts to boil vigorously add roasted moong dal, little salt and let it cook in low flame.
  • The grains should be separate but when you press each dal, it should be soft that is the correct way to cook moong dal for sundal. This may take just 3-5mins. Switch off, strain water and set aside
  • Dry roast the ingredients listed under 'To roast and grind' until golden brown, Cool down then transfer to a mixer jar. Grind it to a coarse mixture, set aside.
  • In a pan heat oil - add the items listed under 'to temper' let it splutter.

  • Mix it once. Boil water until it bubbles up add it to rice flour.

  • Serve Sundal Kozhukattai hot / warm!

Notes

  • If you don't have a mould make just balls or modak shapes.You can even make semi circle shape like here.
  • Try a make a thin outer cover else it will take time to get cooked.
  • I wanted to make sundal filling so cooked moong dal till grains seperate, you can even cook until mushy, make balls and add it as stuffing.
  • The filling is spicy, so adjust red chillies according to your preference.
  • If you prepare the dough before hand, make sure to keep covered with a wet cloth to avoid drying up.
  • You can use either homemade rice flour / storebought.I used store bought rice flour, brand name is Nirapara.
  • You can even use chana sundal ,cook chana then grind it to a coarse mixture then make the sundal and stuff it.
  • As my mould was very tiny I had little leftover pooranam(stuffing) which I had as such which was tasty too.It pairs up well with curd rice too.
