Moong dal salad is a protein-rich food that can be served as a healthy snack both for kids and adults after they get home from school/work. I would say this is one of the best refreshment for Gestational Diabetic mommies out there when you would like to have a light bite. You can have this prepared in 10 min with few preparations ahead.
Ingredients:
- Moong dal – One cup
- Onions – 1/2 cup
- Green chillies – 1
- Mustard seeds – 1 tea spoon
- cumin seeds – 1 tea spoon
- oil – 2 Table spoons
- Curry leaves – few
- Lemon – half
- Salt – to the taste
Recipe:
First, soak the moong dal for 2 hours. Then rinse them well with clean water; Simmer them in a salted water until they are tender (shouldn’t take more than 5-8 min). Remove the excess water if any and keep them aside. Then do the tempering (Tadka) in a medium pan; Add chopped onions, green chillies and curry leaves to Tadka; Saute them for a minute. Now add the boiled moong dal and mix them up well for few seconds. Then add the lemon and mix it well one last time. That’s it! Your moong dal salad is ready !!!
