About Recipe

This Moong dal is a simple yet flavorful Indian lentil dish prepared with split, skinless mung beans. This wholesome, protein-packed recipe is a staple in Indian households due to its comforting flavor and ease of preparation. It uses basic pantry ingredients like ripe tomatoes, fresh onions, garlic, and a blend of fragrant spices, making it both accessible and budget-friendly. What sets this dish apart is the tempering—or “tadka”—of cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and fresh curry leaves, sizzled in hot oil to release their earthy aromas.
