Once the butter has melted, add the cooked moong dal and a pinch of salt. Mix the dal/ paruppu well and simmer it for 2 minutes and turn off the flame. In a bowl add the cooked rice and cooked dal and mix thoroughly. If you baby prefers a more mashed consistency, use a potato masher and mash the rice before adding the dal. You can also add a little salt to Dal Chawal/ Paruppu Sadam and a dollop of ghee and serve warm to your baby/ toddler.Serve Dal Chawal/ Paruppu Sadam to your babies/toddlers who are above 10 months along with a vegetable like Carrot Poriyal or Buttered Mashed Potatoes to make it a complete meal.
