Moong dal (split yellow lentils) is known for its high protein content and is a popular choice for a healthy dal tadka. To make this healthy version, start by rinsing the moong dal and then pressure cooking it until soft. In a separate pan, heat ghee or oil and add cumin seeds, ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Once the spices release their aroma, add onions and cook until golden brown. Then, add tomatoes and cook until they are soft. Add a blend of spices like turmeric, red chili powder, and garam masala. Finally, pour the tempering over the cooked lentils and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. This healthy moong dal tadka is a nutritious and delicious option that can be enjoyed with rice or roti.
