Moong Dal Awadhi Style

Moong Dal Awadhi Style

Away from the monotony, I prepared an Awadhi style Moong dal to go with rotis. I used yellow moong that is lightly dry roasted before cooking and tempered with caramelized onions and mint leaves. I found the original recipe to be bland to my palate hence tweaked it to add some spice.
