  • STEP 3.Pressure cook for 5 to 6 whistles on medium flame till the moong lentils are softened well. Once the pressure settles down, remove the lid and stir the dal.
  • STEP 4.If the dal looks thick, then add some water and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • STEP 5.Add salt. Mix very well and keep aside. Check the taste and if required you can add more salt.
  • STEP 6.In a small pan, heat oil or ghee or butter. First fry the cumin seeds.
  • STEP 7.Next add the garlic and green chili and fry for some seconds. Don't brown the garlic. Switch off the flame.
  • STEP 8.Now add the garam masala powder, red chili powder and asafoetida. Switching off the flame earlier ensures that the spice powders don't get burned.
  • STEP 9.Quickly stir and immediately pour the tempering mixture in the dal.
  • STEP 10.Stir the dal and serve hot moong dal with steamed rice or chapatis.
  • STEP 11.The moong dal tadka tastes better as it is and there is no need to garnish or add coriander leaves to it.
