Moong Dal Upma
You will need:
½ cup Yellow Moong Dal
2 tbsp Urad Dal
For the seasoning:
3 tbsp Oil
1 tsp Mustard seeds
1 tsp Urad Dal
1 tsp Chana Dal
Few curry leaves
6 green chillies, slit
1 small onion, chopped
Salt to taste
3 tbsp Grated fresh coconut
1 tsp Lemon juice
Method
Soak moong dal and urad dal in water for 2 hours. Rinse well, drain and then grind to a chunky paste using water as required – the dals must be broken and the paste should be grainy. The batter should be of pourable consistency but thick like idli batter.
Pour batter into greased idli plates and steam for 8 minutes until the ‘idlis’ are done. Remove from plates and let cool completely. Once cooled, break the idlis between your fingers.
Heat oil in a pan. Add the mustard seeds and when they begin to splutter add the urad and chana dal. Add the curry leaves and green chillies. Saute for a few seconds and then add the chopped onions. Saute until soft, now add the powdered idlis. Also add the grated coconut and combine well. Season with salt. Cook on low heat for 5 minutes. Add lemon juice. Serve while still hot.
