Hesaru Bele Tovve

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Hesaru bele/Moong dal
• 1 Medium Tomato
• 1 Tsp Oil
• 1 Tsp Mustard seeds
• 1 Tsp Jeera
• 1/2 Tsp Haldi/Turmeric powder
• 1/4th Tsp Hing
• 2 Tsp Ginger Garlic paste
• 1-2 Green chillies
• 1 Tbsp Lemon juice
• 1/2 Tsp Pepper powder
• Salt to taste
• Coriander leaves to garnish

A simple recipe that can be made in no time. This dal along with hot rice, pickle and papad is just an awesome combination in cold/rainy weather.

Method :

• Cook hesaru bele/ moong dal along with haldi/turmeric powder in pressure cooker.
• In a kadai/pan heat oil, add mustard seeds, jeera, green chillies, ginger garlic paste and chopped tomatoes. Cook until tomatoes are soft and juicy.
• Once tomatoes are done, add cooked hesaru bele, pepper powder, salt (and some water if necessary), let it boil for 8-10mins.
• Switch off the flame, add lemon juice and stir well. Remove it to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

Note :

• Sliced onions can also be added in tadka before adding tomatoes.
• Make sure cooked dal is soft and mushy.
• 1/2 Tbs of garam masala will also go well with this dal. I wanted to keep it simple so did not add it in my recipe.
