Moong Dal or Lentil with Cabbage


A daily meal cannot be complete without a bowl of Dal or Lentil. Me and my husband can’t think rice without any kind of dal. In my kitchen almost every day I have to cook daal, that’s why love to prepare different kind of Dal too. 



My Ma in-law prepares a special dal with Cabbage which is really one of our favorite items.  She prepares this one with Matar Dal but unfortunately I don’t have Matar Dal so I prepared with Moong Dal and extra I add few more vegetables like Pumpkin, Beans etc. Its turned out really too good. This recipe is for those who love different kind of Dal like us.

Preparation time: 10 mints.
Cooking time: 20 mints.

Ingredients:

1.Moong Dal or Matar Dal: 100 gm.
2.Cabbage cut into big pieces: one small bowl.

4.Beans cut into small pieces: Half cup.
5.Few kalonji.
6.Two dry red chili.
7.One tea spoon turmeric powder, Half tea spoon cumin powder.
8.Salt & sugar as per taste.
9.Mastard oil (u can use sunflower oil too).

Process:

Dry roast the Moong dal then boiled it in a pressure cooker with the turmeric powder and some salt.

Now add some oil in a vessel and add the Kalonji and dry red after few seconds add all the vegetables and fry for some time.
