I'm not the biggest fan of whole moong, but this was lovely.

Anyway, besides liking Indian food, I've just wrote about the APPEALING and positive things that I've found in Indian women - the femininity and beauty of Indian women.

Well, I'm glad to hear that M is connecting with Desi culture this way, and that the weather permitted!<BR/><BR/>I've been buying more moong lately... I think we all have as the prices go up for the other favorites; (I've been out of toor dhal for some time now but made a moong sambar anyway- works just fine!) This recipe that you found reminds me of some chhole recipes that I've come across- but with moong instead! Looks like a tasty formula...will try your "less garlic" tweaking, but I'm sorry: I'll need to return the chile-level back up to full blast or I'll never get it down... :-) Happy Holi- late- to you, and Happy Spring of course!Pelicanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858951498917328458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-12695214479097732272009-03-31T00:56:00.000-06:002009-03-31T00:56:00.000-06:00That's a lovely recipe - soul satisfying I would ...That's a lovely recipe - soul satisfying I would say.<BR/><BR/>I played Holi every year till I was 20 in Mumbai because we lived in a colony and it was real, clean good fun. The night before we would bury potatoes into the Holika fire's embers and eat them the next day - delicious!<BR/><BR/>Didnt celebrate Holi for the next 10 years in Chennai but last year when we moved to Delhi, we didn't have a choice - our three year old daughter was totally taken by the idea of splashing in water and throwing colours. But luckily -again , all in good fun and with friends and their kids and no rowdy meanness. BUT I have heard it's not the same all over Delhi...<BR/><BR/>The cardinal rule for everyone to avoid the colours - load up on coconut oil in the hair before stepping out as well as on the body!<BR/><BR/>MiriMirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676408925598600874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-83766005351558788982009-03-27T18:46:00.000-06:002009-03-27T18:46:00.000-06:00Hi Manisha, lovely posts, brings back memories of ...Hi Manisha, lovely posts, brings back memories of that colorful day when we were kids.

It's funny that you are posting a dal recipe as my friend (who desperately wants to meet you) was searching for one on your site a few weeks ago. I'll be sure to tell her to come over and try this one. It's Spring, my dear.
