Do we start with 1/4 cup dry moon dal, which becomes 1/2 cup when soaked?
Thank you.
Thomas, start with 1/4 cup dry moon dal, which becomes 1/2 cup when soaked
Thank you for this prompt reply.
And thank you for all your excellent videos. For years, you have been inspiring me to experiment.
Thomas, Thank you, you all my viewers are my inspiration.
I enhance the same salad by adding equal amounts of chopped cucumber and tomato, a little less of chopped beetroot. I add finely chopped fresh ginger, coriander leaves, some salt and some jaljeera powder. I stopped adding seasoning to this due to something that keeps me very busy. My laziness.
very tempting to see ,cook and eat….thanks…Hari om

I made it! It tastes great! This is my first time to cook in about 15 years. Usually I just have tinned food and toast or maybe a fried egg [free-range]….Thanks Mandula!!
I made an adapted version of this dressing tonight using lime juice in place of the lemon juice. I added the dressing to a salad of shredded carrots with thinly sliced celery and cucumber. We garnished with toasted peanuts and some unsweetened coconut. It was very tasty. Now I’m looking forward to making your carrot and moong dal salad just like you’ve written here. I wanted you to know how your recipe inspired my adaptation. Thank you very much for your wonderful website and videos!
