A simple, nutritious, and comforting Indian dish made from split yellow moong lentils, commonly enjoyed with rice or flatbreads.
Rinse the moong dal thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear.
Soak the dal in water for about 30 minutes.
Drain the soaked dal and transfer it to a pressure cooker.
Add water, turmeric, and salt to the cooker.
Cook under pressure for about 3 whistles or until the dal is soft and mushy.
In a separate pan, heat oil and add cumin seeds.
Once the cumin seeds start crackling, add garlic and green chili, and sauté for a few seconds.
Add diced tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are soft.
Pour this tempering over the cooked dal and stir well.
Simmer the dal for an additional 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
