Green Moong Dal

Green Moong dal is a high in protein and  fiber which is easy to digest and keep our tummy full for longer time. Todays dish is a healthy yet delicious gravy sidedish with moong dal. It goes very well with roti, naan, parthas and even with rice. I have made it a gravy consistancy today, but if you want you  can cook little longer to evaporate the liquid in curry to make it dry. 

This recipe goes to week 2 of BM 147 under the theme " Gravy Sidedish for Flatbread".
