Moong Dal Tadka

MOONG DAL TADKA …. Boiled yellow lentils with turmeric and salt and tempered with lots of cumin seeds,garlic and other spices… I love Dal curry with lots of garlic and cumin seeds in it,this makes the curry more delicious and aromatic.

Those who avoid having dal curries just because it leads to bloating can switch to preparing it with moong dal which compared to Toor dal doesn’t cause bloating.

Serve this delicious dal with hot steamed rice and pickle and enjoy your meal.
