Ingredients:
- Moong Dal (Yellow Split Lentils) – 1 cup
- Salt – to taste
- Chili Powder – ½ tsp (optional, for spice)
- Turmeric Powder – ½ tsp
- Black Salt – optional, for a tangy flavor
- Cumin Powder – ½ tsp (optional)
- Oil – 1 tsp (optional, for roasting)
Step 1: Roasting the Moong Dal
- Heat a pan or kadhai on low to medium heat.
- Add the moong dal to the pan and dry roast it, stirring occasionally, until the dal turns slightly golden and begins to emit a pleasant, nutty aroma. This process takes about 8-10 minutes.
- Be careful not to burn the dal; roast it until it is just crispy. If you prefer, you can add a little oil while roasting for a smoother texture, but this is optional.
Step 2: Seasoning the Moong Dal
- Once roasted, remove the dal from heat and allow it to cool completely.
- Sprinkle the salt, chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and black salt (if using) over the roasted moong dal.
- Mix the dal well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Cooling & Storing
- Allow the seasoned moong dal to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the Moong Dal in an airtight container to maintain its crunch and freshness.
