Chilke Wali Moong Dal
Maybe you all knew this but we bought some Chilka Moong Dal (half broken with green skin) as yellow moong wasn’t available. This also cooks really well in an open saucepan.
Today I cooked some dal in an saucepan with one carrot and one yellow squash & a little turmeric powder. After it was cooked well, seasoned with cumin seeds, asafoetida, 1 tsp curry powder and 2 green chillies. It came out awesome & very tasty and I will probably not go back to regular yellow moong dal.

Rose Matta Rice - Palakkadan
Other thing I wanted to share is that not all rice is available in Indian stores. One rice we like is Red Rice (also called Rose Matta Rice) which is still available in stores. This has a nice earthy taste and very filling with low glycemic index. It is normally painful to cook but I found an easy way with instant pot.
2 cups rice washed well, 5 cups water and pressure cook in InstandPot for 22 minutes and let it release steam normally. Quantity is amazing and tastes excellent and you don’t feel hungry quickly.
