Recipe - Moong dal and Masoor dal

Green gram and red lentil soup

Summary:

Plain dals can be made with different types of lentils. This particular soup has a distinct flavor to it. I like the flavor of this soup better than just the simple moong dal or just masoor dal.

Ingredients:

• Moong dal (green gram with or without skin)- 1/2 cup
• Masoor dal (red lentil) - 1/2 cup
• Coriander powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 3/4 teaspoon
• Turmeric - 1/4 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Butter - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 3cups (to cook)

Process:

Wash moong dal and masoor dal, add 3 cups of water, salt, coriander powder, turmeric powder, paprika and butter. Pressure cook it for 2 whistles.

Let the pressure release and add one cup of hot water to bring it to the desired consistency. Serve hot as a soup or add seasoning to the soup with cumin seeds and onions and serve it with rice or roti.
