carrot capsicum dal |
I have tried different vegetables and blended them with arhar and chana dals but ever experimented with capsicum. This time I have gone ahead and used capsicum in moong dal along with carrot, after I came across a similar recipe in Yummy Tummy blog. My experiment was a success. Happy me!
Let's get back to the recipe!
Ingredients
1/2 cup yellow moong dal
2 carrots
1 capsicum
1 Garlic pod (10-15 garlic cloves)

hing
salt, haldi
coriander leaves, curry leaves (kadipatta)
1 tbsp- oil
1 tomato
