  19. abhijit July 26th, 2009, 6:43 am

    it looks great, but i have one question, you said , to boil, put 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk.. i think in that much, 1 cup dal wouldnt even get properly soaked. what do you say, shouldnt there be some more water. and whts the secret of adding tamatos so late, normally we do add them after onions get golden brown. will it taste better if we put tamatos the way you have suggested. thanks. i’ll wait for your reply.

  21. Sarah September 4th, 2009, 6:32 pm

    Can i cook this if i don’t have the pressure cooker?

    Thanks!

  22. kranthi September 14th, 2009, 1:34 am

    can we cook moong dal with only water instead of mixing with milk

  23. kranthi September 14th, 2009, 1:35 am

    thanks for this nice recipes

  24. kranthi September 14th, 2009, 1:35 am

    thanks for this nice recipe

  25. shriya September 14th, 2009, 9:29 am

    Yes you can add water instead of milk. But if you cook with milk it tastes so good.

  26. shriya September 14th, 2009, 9:30 am

    Yes, but it will take long time to fully cook the moong dal.

  27. kranthi September 17th, 2009, 5:19 am

    hi shriya today i tried ur recipie i was very nice thanks for ur repice but i have doubt can adding tomatoes a little later will give any addtional taste normally we will add after adding onions can u pls tell this

  28. shriya September 17th, 2009, 8:46 pm

    Actually when you add the tomatoes later it gives good sour taste and better flavor. You can see the difference in taste between after and before adding.

  29. kranthi September 17th, 2009, 9:01 pm
