Dal Moong is a typical Sindhi Breakfast item, and is more famous as a Morning Street Food. Well, this means that generally Dal moong , along with Dal pakwan, Makhni Dal , sold at Thelas or as street food in morning , are preferred by Sindhis . A very simple to make, Dalmoong is a wonderful combination of Yellow split beans (Moong ki peeli dal) , and Green Grams (sabut Moong), cooked till mushy and topped with some spices and vegetables like boiled potato, beetroot, raw mango etc, with some tangy tamarind chutney is relished with some Koki or even Phulka Though the moong available at such thelas have a very distinct(Read….Better) taste, but still home made food is always healthier isn’t it? Moong and dal are cooked separately and then while serving , take moong in a bowl, and pour few spoons of dal over it ,on half of the side, and garnish it. The recipe of moong varies , some make these with onion and ginger garlic, other prefer just ginger garlic base, while some use just dry masalas to flavor the otherwise bland green grams Print Dal Moong ~A healthy Breakfast Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 30 mins Total time: 40 mins Serves: 3 Nutritious Moong beans and yellow Dal topped with boiled vegetables Ingredients Sabut Moong 1 cup Green chillies 2 Salt Kamaal Patt (Tej Patta) 1 Turmeric powder ¼ tsp Garam masala powder 1 tsp Red chilly powder ½ tsp Coriander powder 1 tsp Ginger garlic paste(optional) 1 tsp Amchoor powder 1 tsp Oil 1+1 tsp(1 tsp for moong, and one for tempering ) For Garnish Boiled, peeled and chopped Potato 1 Boiled, peeled and chopped Beetroot 1 Finely chopped onion, raw mango, Tomato 1 each Coriander leaves Tamarind chutney and Green chutney(Coriander and mint chutney), either or both 1 tsp per serving Method Pick, rinse several times and then soak moong for few hours In a pressure cooker, take 1 tsp of oil and add tejpatta, after a minute add ginger garlic paste(optional) and saute till the rawness of Ginger garlic paste is gone .
