How To Make Moong Masoor Dal at Home?
Well, for my kids, I have added a magic touch to this classic recipe and it has now become their favorite too! Let me show you how.
I’m taking ½ a cup of Moong Dal and ½ a cup of Masoor Dal. Let’s wash the Lentils, to get rid of all the impurities until the water runs clear.
For me, it took 3 washes. I am letting the dal soak in 3 cups of water for 30 minutes. While soaking the Dal might not seem necessary it helps our body absorb nutrition from the dal more effectively.
The Dals have swelled up. Drain out the excess water. Time to cook them. In a cooker, I am transferring the soaked dal. Adding 2 ½ cups of water, 1 tsp of Salt, And ½ a tsp of Turmeric powder, Let the Dal boil for 2 whistles. After 2 whistles, once the cooker pressure settles down, you can check the Dal.
Time to flavor the Dal. In a deep pan, I am taking 2 tbsps of Ghee. 1 tsp of Cumin seeds, 1 pinch of Asafoetida or Hing and 4 dried red Chilies. ½ a tsp of grated Ginger, Next, I am adding 5 chopped Garlic cloves, 2 chopped green Chilies and 2 chopped Onions. Let this saute for a minute.
Next, I am adding 3 grated Tomatoes you can even add chopped. And ½ a tsp of red Chili powder. Saute for a minute. Time to add the boiled Dal. At this point, you can add water if you want a thinner consistency. I am adding 1 cup. Stir in and bring everything together.
Simmer the Dal for 1 minute. And now it’s time for the magic touch that is Maggi Masala-ae-Magic. Did you know, that they have launched a brand new box pack? You know how masalas, when kept in boxes, lose their smell and taste over time? That won’t happen in this brand new box pack of Maggi Masala-ae-Magic.
This has 2 packets inside so that while you use one, the freshness, taste, and aroma stays intact in the other one! Just one tsp is all you need to make the taste of any dish extraordinary. I am adding the masala from one of these sachets making this everyday Dal to something extraordinary.
Mix it in. and let the Dal simmer for 2 minutes. My kids totally love the taste which comes out after adding the Maggi Masala-ae-Magic. The way I have added it to the Dal, you can add it to dry dishes, Curries, or any Dal like this to make it yummier.
Moong-Masoor Dal is ready. Let’s transfer to a serving bowl. I am garnishing the Dal with some chopped fresh Coriander Leaves for a final touch. Serve it up with hot Rice or Roti with whatever you do trust me this will taste delicious. Thanks for visiting “Viral Hunt”

Q: Is moong dal and masoor dal the same?
Moong dal and masoor dal are two different types of lentils. Moong dal, also known as mung beans, are small, green lentils that are often used in Indian cuisine. Masoor dal, on the other hand, is a type of red lentil that is popular in Indian and Pakistani cooking. Both lentils are high in protein and are used in a variety of dishes, but they have a slightly different flavor and texture.
Q: Does moong dal need to be soaked before cooking?
Moong dal, also known as mung beans, can be soaked before cooking to reduce the cooking time and make them easier to digest. To soak moong dal, rinse them thoroughly in cold water and then place them in a bowl. Cover the beans with water and let them soak for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Drain the beans and rinse them again before cooking. If you don’t have time to soak the beans, you can also cook them without soaking. Just be aware that they may take longer to cook and may not be as soft as soaked beans.
