MOONG DAL TADKA

Yum
paruppu-satham

Dal tadka is very popular recipes in India. I love dal recipes much, whenever I visit restaurant mostly my orders were garlic naan and dal tadka... I already posted dal tadka with toor dal, and this time I have tried with moong dal. It comes out very tasty and am sure no one say no to the yummy dal gravy…

The aroma of ghee and spices will give you the unique taste. Usually the main deal is easy to cook because it takes little time to cook compared to other dal varieties. Within 20 minutes you can complete the recipe, moreover its protein packed dal and suits for lunch box of kids or even adults. My usual combination of dal rice with potato roast, its irresistible combo… I prepared vazhaikkai kola urundai as side dish for the dal tadka, will post the kola in the next session… Now check out the recipe…

NOTE
  • I added the garlic-green chilli spice paste, which especially ground for vazzhaikai kola. So I added the left over paste to the dal, but the spice taste given the flavorful and unique taste to the dal.
  • The paste is optional, if you are not add the paste, add finely chopped garlic and green chillies while sauté the onion mixture.
  • If you running out of time, pressure cook the dal upto 2-3 whistles.
