Ingredients
Moong (Green Gram) – 1/2 cup
Potato (Medium size) – 1
Tomato (Medium size) – 1
Oil/Butter – 1 teaspoon
Chopped garlic – 1 teaspoon
Chopped onion – 2 tablespoons
Sale and pepper powder – as per taste
Directions
Soak Moong (Green Gram) in water for 4 to 6 hours. Wash and drain the water. Put the soaked moong in a pressure cooker. Peel the potato skin and cut it into big pieces. Cut tomato also into big pieces. Add both potato and tomato to the moong. Add 2 to 3 cups of water and pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles.
Once it cooled down, remove the lid and put the cooked ingredients in a mixie and make it to a fine paste.
In a thick bottomed vessel add oil or butter. When it is hot add chopped garlic and fry till it become light brown. Add chopped onion and fry that too to a light brown. Add the moong paste along with required water to make it liquid. Bring to boil. When it starts boiling, remove from stove.
Pour it into soup bowls and sprinkle required salt and pepper powder. Serve with corn chips or carrot slices.
I use to follow your methods when I was in NJ and it continued even after in chennai where I get very less time to spend in kitchen one reason my mom doesn’t allow me. I use to make exceptions in the recent months and have made few things for my kids and trust me they loved all those I made. This includes baby corn fry with sambar powder the most liked one for my daughter tejaswini and have tried the same with different soft veg like brinjal and ladies finger all came real we’ll next is this moong soup which our entire family liked including my 2 years old son he had a full bowl of soup and my mom loved it too. On this note i would like to pass on my heart full of thanks and appreciation to you for sharing. Hats off to you and pls keep sending us more recipes.
By the way I forgot to tell you the moong soup was too too awesome and pretty simple too. I haven’t took any snap but will do in future.
