Green Moong gravy

1)Green moong dal    100 gms    2)  onion 1 big     3) tomatoes 2
4)ginger 2" pices             5)garlic 5-6      6) Cumin 1 tsp
7) oil 1 tbsp         8) salt    9) hing 1/4 tsp   10) garam masala 1/2 tsp
pressure cook the dal or cook till soft. Grind the ingredients from 2-5 fine. Heat oil in a thick bottomed vessel, add jeera/cumin, as it splutters, add hing, add the ground masala, fry well on slow fire, till the oil starts coming out, or it is really thick, add the cooked dal with the water, add salt & garam masala, mix well, if it is too thick add more water as you need. Let it boil well. Garnish with green coriander leaves cut fine. this           goes well with rotis.


Green  moong dal has more fiber, easy to digest. Those who don't like onion can do it with tomatoes, you may add potatoes, either boiled & cut or fried & put too, as you wish. This can be had with rice too.

If it gets left over, you may mix it with flour & make rotis, have it with tomato chutney, that too tastes good.
