You are right Viji maa....Variety is the spice of life. And since our diet plays a very vital role in our life, we need a healthy diet intake. And naturally, the best way to consume this is by adding a variety in our menu. The above recipes seem simple and also look delicious. Am sure Uncle would have relished them. I would love to make moong dal sambhar as I used to eat a lot of it bfore marriage. But here at my in-laws, not everyone is able to accept that sambhar can be made of moong dal as well! But now, your post has made me determined to make it. OOOOOOoooohhhhhh! My mouth is watering.
dear vijima, yummy dish....wanted to try...vijima til powder you are making at home? me too love mooong dal sambhar...it goes with idli and dosa ....
RKG dear glad you too believe in variety is the spice of life. Yesa dear its easy recipie and delicious too. Ya uncle too liked it. Now a days I make sambhar with moong dal only because it is better than having tur dal. Make it and let me know how it was
Looks yummy,Vijima! Will try it next time.Its nice to get different taste in the same old dishes! I also prefer using moong or masoor dal.It is lighter and cooks more easily. My pressure cooker is not working properly nowadays,and tur dal takes ages to cook!
Meenu dear glad you liked the dish. ya I fried the til and powdered it. Now a days I use moongdal only for sambhar and it tastes good an dhealthy too.
