- Then add carrots, beans, capsicum, green peas, 1 teaspoon salt and mix them well.
- Fry them all for about 5 mins until they turn into slightly golden color.

- There will be some vegetable oil left on the kadai and it is already hot. We will use this to fry the moong dal. Wash the moong dal in a bowl and drain the water. Now, add cumin seeds, bay leaf and moong daal to the oil.
- Stir them all together for some time. After some time, you will find out that the dal is not sticking to the kadai anymore. That’s when you know it is done.
- Now add 1 litre hot water to the dal. Keep thehot water ready upfront. Add 2 teaspoon salt, ginger and green chilli and mixthem all together.
- Then cover with a lid and let it boil for 10 mins.
- After 10 mins check if the dal is half boiled. You can pick up some dal on spatula and press by figure to check how much it is cooked. It should be little soft but still separate form each other, to ensure it is half cooked.
- Add turmeric powder, mix it well with the dal.
- Now add all fried vegetables, add sugar, and mix it well with the dal.
- Then cover it with a lid and let it boil for another 5 mins so that all our ingredients get mingled with each other to bring the unique taste of this recipe.
