moong daal

This is rather like daaLitoi but made with moong daal instead. I like this toi a lot compared to the regular one. This is my MIL’s recipe and very easy to make.

Ingredients

  • Moong daal – half cup
  • A small tomato
  • Green chillies – 2 to 3
  • Red chillies – 1
  • Curry leaves – 3 to 4
  • Hing/Asafoetida
  • Mustard – half teaspoon
  • Salt to taste

Method

  • In a pressure cooker, fry the moong daal for a while (without oil) till the raw smell goes away. It should not turn brown.
