Hi Mam!
Awesome recipe!! Im going to make it the next time im sick!!!
Just a varitaion if u like…
Just make a seasoning of finely chopped ginger & cumin seeds and cashewnuts(optional) seperately in oil/ghee. Add it to rice-moong dal mixture along with salt,pepper pwdr and pressure cook. This coverts this dish to Ven-Pongal..the famous south indian breakfast.
Thanks again,
Priya.

Hi Preethi,
Sure, you can add different daals. For really young babies, mung daal is lighter on the stomach than other daals. Also, you have to be careful about introducing nuts to babies in case of food allergies.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
Thanks for the simple yet mouth watering recipe. Its a perfect one for babies and people not feeling well. Can we make it in the microwave oven? Are the measurements the same? Similar question asked by one of the viewers is not yet answered.
Thanks again,
Riya

Hi Riya,
Sorry, we have not made this recipe in the microwave before. The quirky thing about mung daal is that is foams up. Cooking it in a pressure cooker contains that foam. I’m thinking if you put it in the microwave, it’s going to overflow. Just my thoughts on it.
