Instructions
Recipe:
Pour water over the moong dal beans (1/2 kg) and leave to stand for at least 30 minutes.
Pour part of the water into a deep pan and heat it. As soon as it starts to boil, add the soaked beans together with the water. Add the spices too - turmeric (6 tsp), ginger (2 tsp), salt, hot pepper (2 tsp) and coriander (6 tsp). Stir and let it absorb the water. Once it thickens, pour in more hot water and again let it absorb it. Repeat the process until the grains become soft.
Spoon the dish into a deep plate, and in a pan heat the olive oil (4 tbsp). Add the cumin (4 tsp) and let it heat well for 1-2 minutes. Pour the fat over the portions, together with a little finely chopped coriander or parsley.
