Moong Dal / Pasi Paruppu 500gm
Moong Dal, known as Pasi Paruppu, is revered in ancient wellness traditions as the most "Sattvic" or pure legume due to its cooling nature and incredible ease of digestion. While commercial Moong Dal is often subjected to "polishing"—a process using water, oil, or leather to give it a bright yellow shine—it loses its vital enzymatic coat in the process. Ayini Organic Moong Dal remains unpolished, ensuring the life-force of the grain is preserved, making it the ideal nutritional choice for infants, the elderly, and those seeking a gentle digestive detox.

💡 How to Prepare / Use
Because Ayini Moong Dal is unpolished and natural, it cooks faster and more evenly than processed varieties.
The Gentle Rinse: Wash the dal 2–3 times in cold water. Unlike whole beans, split moong dal does not require long soaking, but a quick 15-minute soak can further enhance its "melt-in-the-mouth" texture.
The Aromatic Roast: For a deeper, traditional flavor, dry-roast the washed and dried dal on low heat for 2 minutes before boiling. This releases a nutty aroma that is perfect for Ven Pongal.
The Perfect Simmer: Use a 1:2.5 water ratio. Pressure cook for 2–3 whistles or simmer in an open pot for 15–20 minutes. It should reach a soft, mashable consistency.
Traditional: Use as a base for Kootu or a comforting Pasi Paruppu Payasam.
Health: Prepare a simple Khichdi with rice and turmeric for the ultimate gut-healing meal.
