Moong Curry

This is a simple everyday curry that is quick and easy to make and perfect with roti.



What you'll need..
  • 1/2 Cup whole green moong lentils
  • 1 Medium tomato, chopped
  • 2 Green chillies, chopped
  • 1 Tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 and 1/2 Tsp chilli powder
  • 2 Tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 Tsp  amchoor powder (dried mango powder)
  • 2 Tbsp onion, finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp cilantro leaves, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 and 1/2 Tbsp oil
  • Salt to taste
How to..
  • To a pressure cooker, add 2 cups of water, moong lentils, tomato, green chillies, salt, 1 Tsp chilli powder and 1 Tsp coriander powder. 
  • Cook on high heat till you hear the first whistle and then on low heat for 12-15 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool.
  • Once cooled and all the steam has escaped, open the lid. The curry should be a little thick in consistency and the moong should be well cooked. Pour the curry into the serving dish.
  • Mix the remaining chilli powder, coriander powder and amchoor. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the curry. 
  • Heat oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds to it. Wait for them to splutter and then add the hot oil over the spice mixture on the curry.
  • Garnish with chopped onions, cilantro and lemon juice. Serve hot.
