BM #127 Week 3 Day 3 -
Today's recipe had to start with the letter 'X' and so I had to use the word Xtra to add in front of the humble moong dal sundal.
This is one of the most popular Sundal (aka salad) recipes from the state of Tamil Nadu. Many communities make this as part of Navratri celebrations. This is a perfect dish to offer to the Lord.
