This ‘Roasted mung dal fry (split green gram dal fry)’ recipe is my family recipe; my hometown style. The preparation is very easy.

It’s delicious and healthy.

This recipe is incomplete without seasoning with bay leaves, whole dry red chilli and cumin; splattered in mustard oil.

Its aroma will linger around the whole house. Bay leaves brings beautiful aroma, detoxify the body, slow the ageing process, and speed wound healing.

Ingredients:

  • Salt: 1 teaspoon (as per taste)

  3. Take a pressure cooker; put roasted mung, salt, turmeric powder and water. Close the lid of pressure cooker. Cook on high flame.
  4. Bring to full cooking pressure, reduce to low flame and cook for 5-6 minutes.
