Rajasthani Moong Ki Dal is one of the simplest dal that is very light and so very easy to cook. This makes a wonderful side dish when you plan a feast featuring Rajasthani Khanna.
While simple Moong Ki Dal / Pesarapappu Kura is very commonly made at home, when Vaishali suggested I make this for the Dal component when making the Rajasthani thali, I was wondering how different can it be. Well this has ginger added and the trademark red chili powder added finally, though my picture doesn’t feature that as I unfortunately stirred the dal.
