Moong Dal and Peanuts
We recently began to pursue a healthier lifestyle. We had talked about this over a few weeks and even months, but never really got down to accomplishing it... Simply because I do quite a bit of cooking for the blog and we are either hosting people for dinner or are invited to eat. Somewhere along the way, the carbs and fat became major companions. The veggies were being consumed here and there, and this week I had a no carb and no fat week in our kitchen. Lots of whole grains and protein, ofcourse keeping the rice and other favourites away was hard, but a few days into it - we have felt great and are enjoying our healthier life style. This curry is really simple to put together, because the pressure cooker comes to the rescue :)

Once the pressure is off, your curry should be done! If the curry is not thick, mush some of the moong dal in the pot and allow it to cook over medium heat, this should thicken it up
