Description
Green Moongdal Pappu is a nutritious and comforting South Indian dish made using whole green moong dal (green gram). This pappu (Telugu for dal) is slow-cooked with aromatic tempering of mustard seeds, cumin, garlic, curry leaves, green chilies, and sometimes onions and tomatoes. Often enhanced with leafy greens like spinach (palakura) or sorrel leaves (gongura), this dal offers a wholesome balance of flavor, texture, and nutrition.
Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, Green Moongdal Pappu is both light on the stomach and filling, making it ideal for daily meals. It pairs perfectly with steamed rice, ghee, and papad, or can be served with roti or chapati for a healthy lunch or dinner. This dish is especially popular in Andhra and Telangana cuisines, where pappu varieties are a staple.
