A fantastic dish that offers almost a complete meal using moong dal and rice. There are various ways to cook them. some added ground pepper or other spices as well.
This recipe was perfect. My family raved about how good it was. Perfect blend of seasonings comprise of mustard seeds, whole cumin, ginger and chili powder makes this rice so appetizing that you can eat them without any gravy. I honestly didn't expect them to like it so it was a great surprise! Even the color made it fun for them to eat.
