Directions
Easy Moong Dal (Mashed Yellow Split Peas),Adapted from Laurel’s Kitchen. Serve this with basmati rice and steamed vegetables and you have yourself a filling, nutritious meal. Unfortunately, for this particular recipe there isn’t any room for substitution or omission of ingredients.,I love this recipe, but when I first made it I had no idea how it was supposed to turn out so I may be preparing it unconventionally. Mine ended up having a fluffy grain texture instead of mushy beans. I presoaked/cleaned the split moong beans for several hours before cooking them, and they did finish cooking in about half an hour. (I dont like the texture when cooked longer.) I doubled the fresh turmeric and curry powder because I like it spicier. I omitted the lemon juice because I think lemon can overpower other flavors. My family really likes it prepared this way!,I love most dal dishes, and this was great. Not only is it really flavourful, considering how few ingredients there are, but it is simple to prepare. It definitely took mine longer to cook than indicated; they weren’t fully cooked through after 30 mins boiling, but I still added everything together and let it simmer with some extra liquid until the split peas were fully cooked. The only thing I changed was to only use 1/2 a lemon, I found it tangy enough for me. Thanks Cookgirl!
