Steps

45 mins. Prep Time: 2.5 hrs.
  1. 1

    Firstly, wash well & soak the Moong Dal in the clear water for at least 2-3 hrs time before using it in the dish to puff up sufficiently well-
    Cut up the Beans into smaller pieces for it to be cooked faster than usual since, it needs to be cooked along with the dal & rest other veggies in the latter stage without losing its greenish colour much

  2. 2

    Then, cut up all the ingredients aforesaid, gently toast the nuts mentioned above-
    Get rest all other ingredients ready & handy for the following cooking process, fast- Next, heat up a frying pan: Add in the required amount of cooking oil or the butter-ghee combo together- Throw in the Tempering Spices & Hing in it- Allow them to crackle and turn fragrant

  3. 3

    In goes the finely chopped onions, chillies- Sauté until translucent, then add in the chopped tomatoes & the 2G Paste, continue sautéing until the raw smell goes off- Add in some salt and sugar too, also if required some splashes of hot water while sautéing to prevent it catching the bottom of the pan by any means

  4. 4

    This dish needs to be cooked entirely without any cover/lid used in it to retain the most of the green colours to the Beans used in it (that’s the trick) alongside, not to overcook the same at any point- It not only loses its greenish colour but the nutrients in it as well-
    Hence, the dal & beans to be cooked separately in succession

  5. 5

    Having said that: In the other oven- We need to place another pot/pan with sufficient water (About 1.5-2 Cups) to boil the Dal first initially a bit & then adding into it green beans to cook along with it further-
    This way, it’d consume less time & also we can ensure to retain the green colour of the beans & not to overcook none of the Dal or Beans much to get a mushy consistency- It need be well cooked without being mushy at all & one can feel it inside the mouth while having it

  6. 6

    Now, once the rest of the veggies are well sautéed, add in the toasted nuts into it- Mix well together until nicely combined-
    Also, the dal & beans are cooked nicely about 75-80% since the rest of its cooking need to happen along with the veggies sautéed such long- Give it all a really good mix & lowering the flame to medium-low let it cook nicely till done

  7. 7

    Checkout the seasonings at this point and adjust if required- Add in the freshly grated coconut, pomegranates aerials, finely chopped coriander leaves- Give it all a final good mix, turn off the flame now & we’re good to go with it… Transfer it to a separate serving bowl/plate/dish and garnish it further, your very own way-
    It’s ready to be served now, absolutely piping hot

  8. 8

    ENJOY this very decadent dish- either as in your Breakfast time or even during your anytime binges or evening snacks too-
    The best part of this one’s that- You can pretty much have it as the most delectable condiment with the hot steamed rice or any types of Indian Breads equally well

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
