Dal with Split Peas (pressure cooker)
Bought yellow split mung bean/split peas, thinking to make some sweet dessert (tau suan) or ang ku kueh (kueh is a malay/indonesian word for cake) with it but so so lazy 😂 so kept it for quite some time in the storage drawer. But recently, I am more aware of the food i eat. Try to reduce sugary food/dessert or sweet treats and finally decided to make this dal. High in protein, and i guess it is much healthier than sweet kue/desserts i originally planned to make :) very fast and easy to make and tastes really yummy too!

Palak Dal Palak Dal
#greenveg - This is a simple homemade-style Palak Dal (spinach lentil) that is popular in most of the regions of India but with slight variations in the method of cooking and in the choice of ingredients. Today I bring to you the South Indian version.Whatever way this dal-spinach combo is cooked, it simply tastes yummy. It is equally healthy and nutritious as it is loaded with iron and proteins which is very essential for a well balanced diet. Enjoy it with rice or chapatis for a satisfying and a wholesome meal.
