Hara Mung Kadhi – What To Cook??

Hara Mung Kadhi – What To Cook??



Pachai Payiru Mor Curry:

Why would someone want a funny story behind the recipes? Its very simple, storytelling at root…began with food! Remember Mommy’s stories that fed you extra lump?! Awakening memoirs always percolate underneath food related stories. Life is all about food and celebrations. Many adults, enthusiastically recall their past’ often revolving around experience of taste buds!

Deep down truth about ‘my food blog’ is like meeting a new unknown friend at a coffee shop! After dinning together and sharing thoughts, the actual bonding happens! Since now its the world of anonymity and constant phobia…maybe the ‘food blog’ touched the part of my soul! And mere blog-hopping satisfies the desire:)

Ingredients:

Hara Mung/ Green gram – soaked overnight
Yogurts 4 cups
Salt
Turmeric powder 1/4 spoon
Asafoetida 1/4 spoon
Oil few spoons.

Wet Grind these to a Thick Paste:

Pepper 1-2 spoons
Green chilies 5
Thoor dal 1 cup – soaked
Tomato 1
Ginger 3-4 inch size. peeled.
Garlic 4 -5 cloves

For Tempering:

Mustard seeds 1/2 spoon
Cumin seeds 1/4 spoon
Urad dal 1/4 spoon
Asafoetida 1/4 spoon
Green chilies 3
Curry leaves few
Oil few spoons
Oil for shallow frying.

Method:

Cook mung dal in pressure cooker and set aside.

Heat oil, in a wok, add wet ground paste to it. Fry them till the raw odor is gone.

Further add asafoetida, salt, turmeric and cooked lentils/mung. Mix them well. Then add yogurts and bring it to boil.

In a separate pan, heat oil. Add mustard, cumin, asafoetida, chilies, pepper and curry leaves. Fry for a while…till they pop and splutter. Run this seasoning over the gravy made above.

Serve warm along with plain steamed rice.

    Green moong kadhi…nice idea…I never thought like this,hmmm great malar…as usual looks more pleasing n inviting…

  3. Priya says:

    Nutritious and delicious curry..

  4. Raji says:

    This is a new kind of kadhi to me…havent tried this..how you manage to make so many wonderful things.

  5. divya says:

    Very tempting and fabulous kadhi.

  6. VineelaSiva says:

    Never tried kadhi with moong.I tried curry with moong dal.

  7. Very interesting recipe, love the idea. And, when you say “mung dhal”, you mean “whole green moong” right? and not the yellow split one? It would be better to clarify as usually when we say moong dal, we mean yellow one and for green one, we call it green moong or sabut moong or something like that. Sorry for being picky :(

  8. Malar Gandhi says:

    Dear Priya, yes…you are right, ‘Hara mung’ or ‘sabut mung’ will be more appropriate:) You know, I always type in a hurry…from next time onwards, will pay more attention:)

  9. Great source of protein and tastes fantastic for sure… just perfect!
