Moong dal payasam (paitham parupu payasam)

Another one of my copy-cat attempts. Mom had a cup of cooked moong dal (broken yellow moong) left over and she asked me to make something out of it. Dal seemed too boring and so I tried a payasam from sailus food.


The only extra ingredient I added was saffron strands.

Sindhi dal.

Since k has the sniffles :) and specifically asked for dal bhath, I googled for a dal recipe that's familiar hence comforting but not too familiar and I found this interesting Sindhi-dal recipe. I upped the ginger a bit and skipped the tamarind and we had a nice dinner to drive away the sniffles :)

Beetroot, kale.

Today's menu - beetroot curry and kale dal (substituted spinach with kale - thought I would try out some seasonal vegetable before the season runs out!)
