Green Gram Tomato Curry / Whole moong Tomato Dal


            Hope you all had a great festival day and back to routine. Did u notice ?? that my blog title was changed to "Spicy Treats" . I was planning for long time to change my title but i am not able to get a short n sweet one. Today morning just like spark i got it . First i asked my H for opinion and He said it was good and you can proceed. Hope you also like the new title :)
            Coming to today's recipe, simple and light tangy curry with whole moong dal. I made this long back and totally forgot it. This is so easy and tasty recipe which suits well with both Chapathi/rotis and white rice and jeera Pulav.
Ingredients
  1. Whole Moon dal/Green gram    1/2 cup
  2. Pearl onions    10 no.s
  3. Tomato   3 no.s( finely chopped)
  4. Garlic     4-5 cloves(cut in to halves)
  5. Green chilli    3-4 no.s(cut in to half n slitted)
  6. Turmeric powder    1/4 tsp
  7. Amchur powder     1/2 tsp
  8. Cilantro     3 tbsp(finely chopped)
  9. Curry leaves     1 sprig
  10. Oil     1-2 tsp
  11. Mustard seeds    1/4 tsp
  12. Cumin seeds     1/2 tsp
  13. Hing    1/4 tsp
Method


  • Soak Green gram for at least 2-3 hours and pressure cook the soaked dal for 3 whistles and then mash them lightly and keep aside.
  • Heat oil in a kadai, add mustard and cumin seeds wait till it pop and then add hing powder fry lightly
  • and then add curry leaves ,green chilli and garlic. Fry lightly.
  • And add onions and sauté till turns pink and then add finely chopped tomatoes.
  • Sprinkle little salt and sauté the tomatoes until it turns soft and mushy.
  • After that add turmeric powder and stir well and add 1/4 cup water and bring it to boil.
  • Once it starts boiling, add the mashed green gram dal and enough salt, stir well and again let it cook for 5 minutes.
  • Then add amchur powder and stir well and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Lastly add  finely chopped cilantro and mix well and turn off the stove.
  • That's it..Tangy and Yummy Green Gram Tomato Curry is ready to serve. I served with Chapathi.

Notes:
In the same way instead of green gram you can also use Tuvar dal and also Yellow Moong dal.
You can also enjoy it as a tomato curry /tomato thokku by following the same procedure except the addition of Dal.
