Green Gram Dal

Tuesday, July 29, 2008


This Gravy is one of my all time favourites. I came across this recipe on a cookery show & I was tempted to try it out . It turned out to be very delicious & ever since it has become a regular dish at our home. What I really like about this dish is that it is very simple to make & Green Gram gives a very different flavour to the gravy. You could even use sprouted green gram as a healthier option.
Tastes good with Rotis or Pooris or even Rice.

Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups Green Gram/Moong Beans - soaked for 15 mins

  7. 1 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  8. 1/2 tsp Garam masala
  9. 1 tsp Ginger-Garlic paste (optional)
  10. Oil
  11. Salt as per taste

Method:
