Ingredients

2

quarter cup Moong dal

1 tablespoon Oil

1 teaspoon Cumin seeds

2 pieces Green Chilies

1 cup Spring onions

half teaspoon Turmeric powder

Salt as per taste

2 tbsp Fresh coconut

quarter cup Water

Tips

Adjust the spiciness by adding or reducing green chilies.

For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of ghee at the end.

To save time, soak moong dal in warm water instead of regular water.

Use fresh, tender spring onions for the best taste.

If you like a tangy flavor, sprinkle a few drops of lemon juice before serving.

Directions

Wash the moong dal thoroughly and soak it in water for 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Heat oil in a kadhai (pan) over medium flame. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Add finely chopped green chilies and sauté for a few seconds.

Add the soaked moong dal to the pan and mix well. Cover and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.

Stir in salt and turmeric powder. Add the chopped spring onions (white and green parts) and sauté for a minute.

Add a little water (approximately 0.25 cup), cover the pan, and let the mixture cook on low flame for 5-7 minutes until the dal softens and absorbs the flavors.

Turn off the heat and garnish with fresh grated coconut. Serve hot with rotis or steamed rice.

Notes

Individuals with severe legume allergies should avoid moong dal.

People prone to gas or bloating might experience discomfort if consumed in excess.
