Frozen curry · The everyday dal

Yellow Moong Dal

Split yellow moong lentils, slow-cooked with tomatoes, ginger, garlic and turmeric until they melt into a golden, comforting dal. It’s the dal I grew up eating, and the one I still make at home when I want something simple.

The story

In Indian homes, yellow moong dal is the dal of everyday cooking: quick, golden and the first dal many of us ate as children, with rice and a spoon of ghee or a squeeze of lemon.

How to enjoy it

With basmati rice, a warm roti or one of our dosas. A squeeze of lemon on top is lovely.

Defrost overnight in the fridge, then heat in a pan, stirring, until piping hot all the way through. From frozen: heat gently in a covered pan with a splash of water.
