Moloshyam -Easy lentil & veg curry

 

This simple curry is one of my go to when I am not in mood for cooking and also when I really don't have lot of veggies in hand. This is my version of making this simple curry, but there are many other variations as well. Moloshyam is a simple comfort curry that goes well with bowl of rice. It's usually made with ash gourd, dal and tomatoes. But you can use other veggies as well like snake gourd, cucumber or like I have used small brinjal. In short its a delicious simple less spicy curry made with lentil, one veggie and touch of coconut oil.
Let's see how its done. Step wise pics are given below. 

Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup dal 
  • 1/2 cup brinjal or any other veggie (quick cooking)
  • 1 cup tomato chopped 
  • 3-4 Green chillies slit 
  • Water for cooking
  • Salt to taste 
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tsp coconut oil 
  • Handful curry leaves
Method: 
  1. Wash, clean the dal and cook it with some water in a pressure cooker for 3-4 whistles or until cooked well
  2. While the dal is getting cooked, chop the brinjal ** & tomato.
  3. Add these two in a pan with some water 
  4. Add in the slit green chillies, turmeric powder along with some salt and cook this till the veggie & tomato are cooked 
  5. Open the pressure cooker and mash the cooked dal a bit 
  6. Once veggie-tomato mix are cooked, just add in the cooked dal and mix well. 
  7. You can add little more hot water to it to adjust consistency as per your choice
  8. Cook these together on a medium flame for another 5 mins 
  9. Check for seasoning and add salt if needed 
  10. Then, take off the flame and add coconut oil and curry leaves to it 
  11. Close with a lid for another 5 mins and DONE. 
  12. Serve hot with some rice and a side of your choice 
Notes : 
  • You can use any veggie of your choice, any quick cooking veggie - Ash gourd, snake gourd, even drumsticks
  • Mash the tur dal a bit before adding into the veggie mix
  • You can use moong dal also instead of tur dal

Home-Made Nuts Powder

Home-Made Nuts powder is something which I have been making since Jeremy was a 9 month old. Initially to introduce nuts, I used to powder each nut separately (one day each) and mix with every food. As he grew older I realized he hates whole nuts especially Almonds and Pistachios. Cashews are still ok with him provided they are salted ones. But still he wasn't consuming much. Thats when I decided to continue making the essential and important nut powder. He hates the fact that nuts or chunky powder has been added and just rejects the whole meal even though its tasty and likes it. But this fine nut powder is a winner and I add it up in almost everything on a daily basis.  So this nut powder is perfect for fussy kid like mine or if you just wanna introduce nuts to your kids diet, this is a good solution. Its pretty simple and fuss free.   The powder is suitable for babies over 8 months, but before you feed this to your baby, make sure that baby has already tried the powdered vers...

Easy Sambar (without tamarind)

Sambar is a must in most south Indian families and like others even I have grown up having dosa- sambhar and chutney's. A Sambar is a lentil based vegetable stew or curry cooked with dal/lentils along with some veggies and some tamarind pulp. There are coconut based sambar as well and each region has its own sambar variation. In my house, we all prefer quick meals, but yet tasty. My mother who was a working lady would make elaborate meals only during holidays or special occasions. Rest all the meals would be quick yet very very tasty. This is one such sambar which my mom has taught me and is super quick.  This doesn't use tamarind like in a traditional sambar and gets its tangy flavour from tomatoes. Its quick, one pot sambar recipe. Lets dive in and see how its done: Ingredients: Serves 3 1/2 to 1 cup Tur Dal/ Yellow Lentils 2-3 tomatoes chopped (depending on size) 1/2 cup Veggies each of your choice cubed Turmeric powder A pinch of Asafoetida/ Hing 1/2 tsp chilli powder Salt ...
