SPROUTED GREEN GRAM (MOONG) DAL GRAVY

Hi all,

I am here with one more recipe that I made yesterday. This one is traditionally a side dish for Puttu, a Kerala delicacy. But as I found out, it makes an excellent side dish for Roti's/Chapathi's too. Its simple, healthy and delicious so here it goes.

MOONG (GREEN GRAM) DAL GRAVY

INGREDIENTS

SPROUTED GREEN GRAM (MOONG) : 2 CUPS
ONION: 1 BIG OR 2 SMALL
GREEN CHILLI'S: 3-4
JEERA : 2 TSP
COCONUT: 2 TBSP
SALT AND OIL AS REQUIRED
LEMON : 1/2 PIECE

GREEN GRAM (MOONG) DAL GRAVY

MAKING

Boil the sprouted Green Gram until its well boiled and soft. Make sure its not overly boiled and is intact.Next, grind coconut, jeera and green chilli's together to make a nice paste like a chutney. Take a pan, pour 1 Tsp of oil, add finely chopped onions and saute them until light brown. Add the gravy mixture to the onions and stir them for a couple of minutes until the raw smell of the gravy mix is gone. Finally, add the boiled Green Gram (Moong) and mix them all together and cook them for a couple of minutes.Garnish it with Curry leaves and your Green Gram Dal Gravy is ready to eat. Serve hot with Roti's / Chapathi's. Enjoy !

TIPS

After you switch off your gas, add a dash of freshly squeezed lemon juice (1/2 lemon) to give it a nice flavor.
