This is a healthy, great tasting vegan recipe that meat eaters will love also. The moong dal have a lot of protein and will really give you a satisfying fullness. You can eat this with an Indian pickle (It goes good with lemon pickle).

  • 1 medium onion,chopped fine
  • 1 small carrot,peeled and grated

  • ½ teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • Salt about 1 tsp. You can sprinkle more on top while you are cooking if you’d like
  • Olive Oil or Canola oil  (Add a tablespoon or two to the pan before cooking)
  • Optional for more flavor (1/2 tsp of ground fenugreek seed, 1/2 tsp ground cumin)
