Have you ever thought of eating lentils uncooked? That too, even without sprouting. Frankly, I didn’t. I always thought that besides eating it as Dal fry, we can grind it and make various delicacies like Vada or Pancake or Pakodas. Then try this. But this Yellow Moong Dal Salad, involves minimum cooking, hardly 10 minutes. As the name says everything, this salad has yellow moong dal and some veggies. Yellow moong dal gets cooked very quickly but for this salad, we don’t need to cook it. Just soak it for an hour or two and that’s it. Once soaked, the dal becomes very soft. And then just saute it and your salad is ready.
This salad has a crunchy texture and that is the beauty of this salad. If the lentils get too soft then it tastes like Dal tadka/fry and loses its properties as a salad. It is better to add lemon juice at the time of serving the salad. You can add veggies of your choice like onions, tomatoes etc. Avoid adding cucumber as it doesn’t go with warm salads. Add little whole spice powder (Garam Masala) or Chat Masala for making it more spicy.
