What it is

Udhaiyam dals come from Udhaiyams Agro Foods in Thiruvotriyur, Chennai, which says the Udhaiyam name has been in the market for 85 years. This bag is their moong dal, in the two-kilo size.

This is paasi paruppu: peeled, split moong, small and pale yellow. It needs no soaking and goes soft in two whistles, which is why it ends up in so much: ven pongal, kootu, a plain dal with ghee, and sweet paasi paruppu payasam. Choosing between dals? Moong for pongal and kootu; toor for sambar; chana dal for vadai and tempering.

Tip: Dry-roast the moong in a pan until it smells nutty before it goes into pongal. It makes all the difference.

Goes well with: GRB Pure Ghee, Heera Black Pepper Whole, Swaad Cumin Whole
