    Krishnamma,

    I tried your Dum Aloo and Kuruma. More than the rotis - the side dish disappeared immediately. It came out very excellent.

    I will try your Whole Green Moong Dal Curry with Gravy





    Andal

    Hi Andal,

    Good to note that your family also liked that recipe.:hiya My son also like that (Alu dum) very much. whole green moong dal curry with gravy is a favorite item in our family. it will reduce the colostrol which is inside our blood vains. so it is good to take this (sprouted green moong dal) in any form atleast once in 15 days.

    Green chutney

    Ingredients:

    Channa Dal 2 Tsp
    Urad Dal 2 Tsp
    Mint Couple of leaves
    Coriander Couple of leaves (as much as mint)
    Coconut (1 Cup)
    Mustard seeds
    Green Chillies (Per Taste)
    Salt (Per Taste)

    Fry Channa Dal and Urad Dal till brown, add Mint and Corriander and fry for another minute, grind all the ingredients except Mustard (without making it too soft) and then fry Mustard and add to the chutney.

    Note: Mint and Coriander will give some color, but not enough to make it as green as Saravana Bhavan's Chutney. I think they may use a coloring agent. The taste should however be the same.
