\"moong<\/a><\/p>\n

Adding a little\u00a0garam masala and lots of garlic make this yellow moong dal special. Recipe is based on the moong dal tadka recipe from a\u00a0great blog Veg Recipes of India.<\/a><\/p>\n

1 teaspoon olive oil
\n1 onion chopped
\n1 tomato chopped
\n1\/2 inch ginger minced
\n1 cup yellow moong dal
\n1\/4 teaspoon chili powder
\n1\/2 teaspoon turmeric
\n4 cups water
\n1 tablespoon olive oil
\n1 teaspoon cumin seeds
\n4-5 garlic cloves smashed with the side of a big knife
\n1 or 2 green chilis slice lengthwise

    \n
  1. Heat oil in a pressure cooker, add the onions\u00a0and saute for a couple of minutes, then add the tomato, ginger, yellow moong dal, chili powder and turmeric and saute for a couple more minutes. Add the water and then pressure cook for about 6 minutes after the first whistle (I heat on high and then turn to low after the first whistle).<\/li>\n
  2. In a tadka or other small pan, heat the rest of the oil and add the cumin seeds. Once they start to pop, add the garlic and green chilis for a few seconds. Then add the garam masala and hing, then throw everything into the dal, stir and salt to taste.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
