Cooking Steps
Method
Step 1 :
Rinse moong dal 2–3 times until water runs clear.
Step 2 :
In a pressure cooker or deep pot, add dal, turmeric, grated ginger, green chili, chopped tomato, and 3 cups water.
Step 3 :
Cook for 3 whistles on medium flame. Let pressure release naturally.
Step 4 :
Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for 20–25 mins until dal is soft.
Step 5 :
Open the cooker/pot, mash dal lightly with a spoon.
Step 6 :
Stir in moringa leaves and rock salt. Simmer on low for 3–4 minutes until leaves wilt and turn bright green. (Do not overcook – moringa loses nutrients.)
Step 7 :
Now, heat ghee in a small pan. Add cumin seeds; when they splutter, add hing, curry leaves, and dried red chili.
Step 8 :
Pour tadka over the dal immediately. Stir well.
Step 9 :
Adjust consistency with hot water if needed.
Step 10 :
Garnish with coriander and a squeeze of lemon (add lemon after turning off heat to preserve vitamin C).
Step 11 :
Serve hot with steamed rice, quinoa, or soft rotis.
