Ayurvedic Recipe - Mung Dal & Vegetable Bhaji



A thanks to all who came out for the Valentine’s Day event, we had a great time! For those of you who were inquiring about the Dal that we made that evening, here is the recipe. Enjoy! Happy Cooking 

 

Mung Dal & Vegetable Bhaji (type of veg stir fry) Serves 4 to 6 

 

2 cups veggies of your choice (I used broccoli, zucchini, carrots, yams and kale) 

2 cups mung dal, split or whole  

5 cups water 

1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil 

1 teaspoon cumin seeds 

½ teaspoon mustard seeds 

1 small handful fresh cilantro, chopped 

2 cloves garlic, chopped 

1 pinch hing* 

¼ teaspoon turmeric 

½ teaspoon salt 

½ teaspoon masala powder or cayenne (I like it better with masala)  

 

  • Wash and prepare the veggies by chopping them into bite size pieces. Wash the mung dal. 

  • In a saucepan, put the dal, veggies and water. Cook, partially covered, until the dal and veggies are tender, about 45 minutes. Stir frequently to keep from sticking. 

  • Heat oil on medium in a good sized pot and add the mustard and cumin seeds. Stir until the seeds pop, then mix in the cilantro, garlic & hing. Cook until the garlic is slightly brown. 

  • Add the mung dal mixture to the spices. Stir in the turmeric, salt and masala powder. 

  • Bring to a boil, turn off the heat and serve. 

 

* A spice used in Ayurvedic cooking to aid in the digestion of beans, reduce flatulence, to add a flavor similar to onion and garlic, and to help make the food more balancing for all doshas.
