 Chuta Moong Dal
Unlike the usual dal preparations, this is a dry dish made with moong dal pepped up with a simple tempering and common spice powders. Chhuta means separate, and the beauty of this Gujarati delicacy lies in being able to feel each grain of the moong dal in your mouth. In order to achieve this, you must soak the dal for sufficient time and cook it for minimal time with just the required amount of water, as described here. Enjoy the Chhuta Moong Dal with aam ras or kadhi.
