Moong dal varn

This recipe is from my friend Sujata, with whom I used to have long conversations literally everyday in Muscat. 

Had this recipe from a long time before I finally tried it out today and it tastes yumm!  Something other than the dal, rasam, sambhar to have with rice ! 

Ingredients 

Moong dal one cup

Coconut grated   Little more than 1/4 cup

Green chillies as per taste

Fried red chillies. 2

Tamarind a scrape

Haldi a pinch

Jeera 1 1/2 tsp

Salt

Tadka ghee rai curry leaves and red chillies

Grind coconut chilles tamarind  haldi and jeera to a smooth paste.

Dry roast moong dal, till slightly red, wash and cook and then mash.

Add the masala, enough water to get the required thickness and salt and boil. 

Finally give tadka !
