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.
- Now add the tomatoes and green chillies and pressure cook with enough water. (3 to 4 whistles)
- After the pressure is released, transfer the contents to a different vessel and mash the green chillies and tomato with a ladle.
- Add salt and bring to a boil.
- Season with mustard, hing, red chillies and curry leaves.
- Serve with rice.
Preparation time: 25 minutes
