• 3 teaspoon coriander powder
• pinch of turmeric
• a few mustard seeds, curry leaves and cumin seeds

Method:

1. Either boil the mung dal for 15 min, with water level with the dal or pressure cook for one whistle
2. heat the oil, then pop the mustard seeds , add cumin and curry leaves, then add the onions and saute for 5 min
3. add the tomato and garlic and saute until it reduces down into a paste.
4. then mix in the mung dal, with the curry powders and salt and simmer for 10 min, add the coconut and lemon juice.
