Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds jeera
- 3 cloves of garlic roughly chopped
- 1 medium onion finely chopped (optional)
- 2 green chillies crushed or finely chopped
- 1 large bunch fresh Shepu dill leaves, cleaned, washed, and chopped
- 1/2 cup yellow moong dal soaked for 1 hour
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Place a kadhai (pan) on the stove and heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil.
- Add the tempering: Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them crackle.
- Sauté the aromatics: Add the chopped garlic and sauté until it slightly changes colour. Then, add the chopped onion and cook until lightly browned.
- Add the spice: Toss in the crushed green chillies and fry them well with the onion and garlic mix.
- Cook the greens: Add your freshly washed and chopped Shepu (dill leaves) to the pan and mix everything well.
- Mix in the lentils: Drain the water from your soaked moong dal and add it to the pan. Stir thoroughly so the lentils and greens are combined.
- Season the dish: Add salt to taste and mix well. You will notice the mixture naturally releasing a little bit of water.
- Let it cook: Let the bhaji cook on a low or medium flame. Do not cover the pan with a lid. Simply stir occasionally until the natural water evaporates and the moong dal is tender. Serve hot!
