Annam Moong Dal Clean 500g

Annam Moong Dal Clean is split, skinned moong, the small yellow lentil that cooks faster and lighter than any other common dal. It breaks down quickly into a soft, mild purée and takes on a tempering without much coaxing, which makes it the everyday weekday dal.

Best for

• Everyday moong dal tadka with cumin and garlic
• Pesarattu, khichdi and ven pongal
• Dal with spinach, bottle gourd or tomato

How to cook it

No long soak is needed; fifteen minutes is plenty, and you can skip it. Pressure cook one cup with two and a half cups of water and a pinch of turmeric for two to three whistles, or simmer it in an open pot for about twenty-five minutes. Whisk it smooth, then add salt and a tempering of cumin, garlic and dried chilli in hot ghee.
