Method
*Boil the moong dal until mushy. You will need an over-cooked dal with each grain of lentil mashed up to get a smooth, soup-like consistency.
*If after boiling, the dal seems too thick or gooey, add more water and stir to get a thick soup-like consistency.
*Avoid using too many spices to season the moong dal. This dal recipe requires a few basic herbs and spices.
