Green gram dal Rice/ Pacha Payiru Saadham/ Mung Bean Rice - 20 mins recipe

In nellai (tirunelveli) ulundu sadham is so famous. Very frequently my mom used to make this recipe. When my mom was not there at home, I tried the same recipe by altering the major ingredients with green gram dal and made this rice. It came out so good. It doesn't need major side dish. It can be served with papad or potato fry or with fresh curd.
