Directions

  1. Place mung beans on ungreased griddle or possibly in a skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Stirring often, roast the dal for 8 to 10 min.
  2. The dal will acquire a lighter colour & emit a nutty aroma. Be careful which they don't turn a dark brown. Transfer to a bowl & wash if you like.
  3. Bring water to a boil & stir in the dal along with the turmeric & whole chiles. Simmer, covered, till the dal is tender, 35 to 45 min. While cooking, uncover & stir occasionally. Add in salt, sugar, cumin & coriander. Keep hot.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet. Add in bay leaf & kalonji & fry for a few seconds. Add in ginger & chopped green chile & fry till the ginger is lightly browned that should be no more than 2 min. Stir constantly. Pour into the dal & mix well. Simmer for a further couple of min & remove from heat. Blend in the garam masala, lemon or possibly lime juice & ghee if you like. Cover & let stand to let the flavours develop. Garnish & serve.
