2. Heat tsp of oil in the pan and splutter the mustard. Make paste of ginger and chillies.

3. Add the asafoetida, now add the ginger chilli paste.

4. Add the curry leaves and add the roasted moong dhal.

5. Now add water so that the dhal should be fully immersed let it cook until the moisture is absorbed.

6.Now add little salt , the dhal should not be mushy.

Note :

1. You can make same one with black channa and white channa too. But you need to pressure cook them.

2. If you like mild sweet taste you can add chopped green or black grapes too. Tastes awesome.
