Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog, Raks! I quickly checked your blog and everything looks so good! I love whole moong and this curry looks delicious. I have to try your gobi paratha. When Itry to stuff a roti, I always have problem. Will try your way with 2 rotis and stuffing in between. May work better for me
Nice entry for the event Raji. Looks delicious. Sorry for my late comment. Kavin became sick after diwali. The smoke from the fireworks triggered his asthma and we had a very tough week. Still going thru it. Hope he will be better soon.

I love this green dal because it is healthy. I temper with mustard seeds, curry leaves and hing. Then I add cooked dal. Then I add to it, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, pinch of garam masala, pinch of daniya masala and cook when it is cooked I garnish it with fresh grated coconut. If I need curry, separately I add butter milk (MOR)and cook for 2 minutes. Enjoy! have it with chapati or with rice.

I love this recipe. I didn't know what to do with the nutritious sabut mung, till I tried your recipe. My American husband also loves this one. He's very picky on dals. The only difference when I cook is that I boil the mung along with prepared masala.
Please share if you have a recipe for split mung as well.
You can make dal fry or dal tadka with split moong (de husked though) or even moong dal kichdi. Everything under my recipe index. please refer. Also check my dal pakwan and dal baati for different styles of cooking dal.
I m referring ur site more than a year. Almost all the recipes I tried in your blog. Most of the things coming out very well. I m become known expert cook in our community. Thank u so muchhh
