Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- ½ cup moong dal
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp salt
- 3–4 whole green chillies
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 2 whole tomatoes
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
Dry roast the moong dal on low heat until the edges of the lentils turn very light brown, for a nutty flavor; do not over-roast or they will not soften.
- hot water
Rinse the roasted lentils lightly; bring hot water to a boil in a wok, add the lentils and skim off the froth.
- cauliflowers
Add the cauliflower once the dal is about 80% cooked; it may also be fried or roasted first, or the dal pressure-cooked first.
Adding the cauliflower and spices
- water
- coriander leaves
Add turmeric, chili powder and salt, then water with green chillies and grated ginger; cook until the cauliflower is tender.
- 1 whole dry red chilli
- asafoetida
For the tarka, heat oil in a small pan, add a dry red chilli, cumin seeds and a pinch of asafoetida; pour the crackling oil into the dal.
