Moong Dal sabji
Weekday meals are hectic and need planning. But some days the planning fails and you have to cook on the fly. On such days, my go-to recipe is Moong dal sabji. It’s easy and so so delicious.
You don’t need fancy ingredients nor do you need fancy prep work. Just soak the moong for 30 mins and chop up some onions and tomatoes, you are good to go. This is because Moong dal is easy and quick to cook. You may need as much as 15 mins tops to cook this humble dish.
