Serves 2 | Preparation time: 30 mins | Cooking time: 2 hours | Difficulty: easy
Ingredients
For the adees
50g moong dal, washed
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
3 tsp ghee
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp ground asafoetida
For the topping
1 tsp mint chutney
1 tsp chopped coriander root
1/2 tsp chopped green chillies
1 tsp chopped tomatoes
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp saunth chutney (dried ginger and tamarind paste)
1 tsp tamarind pulp
2 tsp fried moong dal
Method
1. In a pan or pressure cooker, cook the dal with water, turmeric and salt until done.
2. Add the ghee to another pan, then fry the cumin seeds and asafoetida powder. Add the boiled dal and cook until thick.
3. In a bowl, mix together the ingredients for the topping, except the crunchy moong dal.
4. To serve, add the dal in a bowl and top with the onion and tomato mixture. Finish with the fried moong dal.
Tips: Wash and completely dry coriander leaves and roots before chopping. Washing herbs or vegetables after cutting them drains them of nutrients and flavour.
