Carrots Potatoes and Mung Beans
Here's recipe for mung beans. This is real comfort food. The ingredient
list is long, but it's actually very easy to prepare.
1 tsp black mustard seeds
1 tsp fenugreek seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 onion, minced
1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
1-2 green chilies, minced
1 tsp ground coriander seeds
1 tsp turmeric
1 cup mung dal
1 carrot, cut in chunks
2-3 red potatoes, cut in chunks
4 or more cups of water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch spinach, chopped
juice of one lime
salt, black pepper, and crushed red chilies to taste
Spray, or lightly oil a cast iron pot, wiping off the excess. Put first
three spices in pot and wait for mustard seeds to start popping. Add
onion, ginger and chilies, then stir fry for a few minutes, then add
coriander and turmeric. Add mung beans and carrots and potatoes and water,
bring to a boil, and then simmer until beans are cooked (about 30-40
minutes). Add garlic and spinach, cook covered for a few minutes and then
add lime juice, salt, pepper, and crushed chilies. Serve over rice with
chapathis or pita on the side.
