Certainly! "Begun wala Moong Dal" refers to a dish made with moong dal (split green gram) and eggplant (begun). Here's a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
1 cup moong dal (split green gram)
1 medium-sized eggplant (brinjal/baingan), chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 tomato, finely chopped
2 green chilies, chopped
1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons oil
Fresh coriander leaves for garnishing
Instructions:
1. *Rinse the Moong Dal:* Wash the moong dal thoroughly and soak it in water for about 30 minutes.
2. *Cook the Moong Dal:* In a pressure cooker, add the soaked moong dal along with 2 cups of water, turmeric powder, and a pinch of salt. Pressure cook until the dal is soft and cooked. Mash it slightly with the back of a spoon.
3. *Prepare the Begun (Eggplant):* Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and asafoetida. Once the seeds start to splutter, add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
4. *Add Vegetables:* Add chopped tomatoes, green chilies, and ginger-garlic paste. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the raw smell of ginger-garlic disappears.
5. *Add Spices:* Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes.
6. *Add Eggplant:* Add the chopped eggplant to the masala mixture. Mix well and cook until the eggplant is partially cooked. You can cover the pan with a lid to speed up the cooking process.
7. *Combine Moong Dal:* Once the eggplant is partially cooked, add the mashed moong dal to the pan. Mix everything well and let it simmer for a few minutes until the flavors meld together.
8. *Adjust Consistency:* Adjust the consistency of the dal by adding water if necessary. You can make it as thick or as thin as you prefer.
9. *Finish with Tadka:* In a separate small pan, heat a little oil. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once they splutter, pour this tempering (tadka) over the moong dal.
10. *Garnish and Serve:* Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve the begun wala moong dal hot with rice or Indian bread (roti, naan).
Enjoy your delicious and nutritious begun wala moong dal!
