Paruppu Podi Recipe
I wanted to share this podi here for a long time. Even though this is a staple in our house, i somehow missed to share it here. This is a must have powder if you have kids or a toddler at home. This is great when mixed with rice along with ghee, my little one loves it.
In India, mung beans are known as Moong Dal. Mung beans are also referred to as green gramme or moong. Whole lentils and split lentils are both used in Indian cooking. The husks of mung beans are green when whole, and the beans are yellow when the husks are removed.

Split mung beans (moong dal) are whole green mung beans with theskin or hull removed to reveal the yellow flesh inside. The beans are then cut in half to cook faster. This lentil is roasted with spices and powdered. This powder can be served with rice and some ghee mixed together.
