Key Questions Answered
To make this dish, you need 1 cup of Moong Dal Mangodi, 2 tablespoons of desi ghee or oil, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 1 pinch of asafoetida, 1 cup of chopped tomatoes or tomato puree, and 1 teaspoon of ginger-green chili paste. Spices include turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, salt, whisked yogurt, garam masala, and fresh coriander.
First, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee or oil in a pan, add the Moong Dal Mangodi, and roast them on low to medium heat until they turn lightly golden. Keep stirring continuously to prevent overcooking on one side, then remove them onto a plate and set them aside.
You should reduce the gas flame to low and gradually add the whisked yogurt while stirring continuously because adding yogurt directly to high heat can cause it to curdle.
