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.
