Recipe: Green moong dal chaat

Ingredients:

2 cups whole green moong dal
2 potatoes, boiled and cut into small pieces
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 cup yoghurt
4-5 tbsp of tamarind extract or paste
Salt to taste
Chaat masala to taste
1 green chilli, finely chopped
2 tbsps coriander, finely chopped
1 cup papri, crumbled
1/2 cup lightly fried peanuts




Method:
Soak the moong dal in water overnight or for six hours. Strain the water.
Add fresh water and some salt in a deep pot and boil the dal till it is cooked but the grains must remain intact.
If they become too soft then they will not serve the purpose.
Once the dal is cooked, drain and cool.
Now mix it with boiled potatoes, diced onions, coriander leaves and green chillies.
In a separate bowl, mix the yoghurt and tamarind paste, add chaat masala and salt to taste, and add to the dal.
Just before serving mix in the crumbled papri and fried peanuts.
