Moongdal ki Mangochiyan recipe

Sure! Here's a recipe for Moong Dal Ki Mangochiyan, a popular Indian dish made with yellow lentils (moong dal) and flavored with various spices:

Ingredients:

1 cup yellow moong dal (split yellow lentils)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 green chili, finely chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1-inch piece of ginger, grated
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnishing)
Oil for frying
Instructions:

Rinse the moong dal thoroughly and soak it in water for about 30 minutes. Drain the water and set the dal aside.

Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Add the chopped onion, green chili, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the pan. Saute until the onions turn golden brown.

Now, add the soaked moong dal to the pan and mix well with the onion mixture.

Add the red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt to the pan. Stir to coat the dal evenly with the spices.

Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid. Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes or until the dal becomes soft and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once the dal is cooked, increase the heat to medium and fry it for another 3-4 minutes to remove any excess moisture.

Sprinkle garam masala over the cooked dal and mix well.

Remove the pan from heat and transfer the Moong Dal Ki Mangochiyan to a serving dish.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with roti or rice.
