Moong(Green Grams)

Alka Keswani — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 09:13:38 +0000

I am a self proclaimed Dal lover and I love to make a different one daily! I enjoy the feeling of having FILLING FOOD, when I eat dal, rice, roti, subzi combo. Hence I am actually not very fond of Moong, coz this one doesn’t go with rice:-( Moong or green gram are a storehouse of proteins.Moreover, the nutritious value of the moong increases many folds when these beans are sprouted.So don’t forget to include these green pearls in your regular diet My hubby likes Moong plain and bland,while my son and myself prefer a more spicier version.So I end up making Moong twice in a week, one his way and one my way;-).And still it has to be accompanied with some dry Subzi or atleast a Jowar flour DODA (recipe coming soon). Fussy eater …who me????. No way….I am just an innocent person, whose taste buds have been pampered (read…spoiled) by her mother!! Now considering how bias I am about spicy things, I would naturally share with you all my version of moong…..As usual hubby dear can wait…isn’t it??

Soak for 20 minutes. In a pressure cooker, mix dal, chopped tomatoes, green chillies and ginger, salt, turmeric powder and two cups of water. Close the lid of cooker and wait for 2 whistles.Put off the gas. (NOTE Many prefer this dal to be cooked in handi, or an open vessel, in that case follow the same method except that more water should be added) When the pressure subsides, open the cooker lid and whisk the dal. Heat the oil or ghee for tempering, add curry leaves and cumin seeds and allow it to splutter Add this tempering to the dal and immediately cover the pan/cooker. Add some hot water and bring it to a boil. Simmer the dal for 3-5 minutes or cook under pressure for one whistle.
