Mungodi

Mungodi is a preparation of dehydrated pulses. The word mungodi is derived from Mung Daal (Split & Skinned Green gram). 
 
Cusines description: The final cuisine is a broth containing slight flavour of tomatos
 
Folk Tale: Traditionally dehydration of pulses was done for a couple of reasons - to preserve food due to inaccesibility of hilly regions (specially during winter) and faster cooking of pulses (as presuure cookers were not available in the early days). While these contraints are not relevant now but mundogi continues to be enjoyed by the local people even today
