Please boil the green moong or whole moong. It should not be over cooked.
If you are using moong dal-Just soak the dal for a ½ hour and no need to cook before hand.
Place the pan on medium flame and pour oil in it. When the oil is warm add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When it crackles add the finely chopped onion and sauté it well.
When it is translucent, add the ginger garlic paste and sauté till the raw flavour goes.
Add the green chilies ** (if you don’t have green chilies please avoid this step)
Add curry leaves and sauté till onions are slightly coloured. Add turmeric powder.
Then after mixing add the boiled moong or soaked moong dal with a pinch of salt. Cover it with lid.
It will take two minutes for the moong dal to cook. If you are using green moong (as it’s already cooked) keep it in the closed pan for 4 minutes.
Now add grated beetroot and close it with lid.
Now it’s time to add the greens (spinach and Mint).After adding the greens, please don’t cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 5 mins.
Now it’s time to add coriander powder, chilli powder**(add chilli powder if you are not using green chillies)and garam masala powder. Stir it well and then garnish it with grated coconut or dry coconut powder.
