Daal Moong

Daal has always been a classic food.

Moong is the Queen of legumes.

The aroma of moong daal bring us back after a long vacation. I, usually made daal on my lazy days.

I cook it when there are no veggies at home and no other food is left.

This is a fabulous recipe and my hubby loves it!

I remember, I made this daal once and invited my brother and family, but my sister in law couldn’t come

because of some reason and I sent it for her and she was shocked, that I could make that yummy daal

and she called me specially to praise that recipe. I must tell you here that she’s a wonderful cook and our

whole family loves her cooking. I am sure that you will love this recipe!

Daal is a big comfort in every home.

We can eat it with rotti, white rice as it has a unique flavor.

I find it very easy to make. Soaking Daal helps us to cook quickly. This daal should be cooked long and

slow to get a fantastic creaminess!
