Pesalu or green gram or Moong Dal… Call it by any name but the nutrients remain the same. Bunch of nutrients rich in protein and fibre Moong Dal is a packed bunch of nutrients and is energy-filled food.
Pesara Garelu taste the best when accompanied with freshly ground ginger chutney and coconut chutney. My child loves to dip this Pesara garelu in the tomato ketchup and take a crunchy bite. Of course, I discourage the use of tomato ketchup as it contains preservatives.
