    Whole Mung Bean, Split Bengal Gram, Split Pea Stew. Tirangi Dal. Vegan Glutenfree

    Published: Jul 20, 2013 · Modified: Jul 6, 2018 by Richa 8 Comments

    Yay, more Indian food. And another one of Mom’s Dal stews. This one has whole Mung beans(Hare Moong), Split Bengal Gram(Chana dal) and Split Green Peas(Batana Dal). It has a simple tadka, half of which is added later just before serving. 
    I introduced some Quinoa to Mom n Dad. Mom is open to eating anything really, its difficult to pass of new things to Dad though. But he loved it with some Dal too. Mom served some quinoa like she serves rice, mixed in with this stew, topped with some finely chopped onions and lemon juice. yum. A whole meal by itself. 3 beans and quinoa.




    Here is how my everyday just disappears these days. If we are not going out, most days is about planning elaborate Indian meals(dal/bean curry, 1 veggie side, salads, flatbreads) and then Dad fixing up something or the other. Our kitchen has really deep shelves. So he is changing some of those to channeled shelves, so the shelf can slide out for better access to the back.

    More Dals, curries, lentil soups and Stews here.



    Serve hot topped with cilantro or fresh chili tadka.

    1/2 teaspoon turmeric 
    1/2 teaspoon garam masala or coriander powder or both
    1 1/2 medium tomatoes chopped
    3/4 teaspoon salt

    Method:
    Soak all the beans overnight or for 4 hours. 
    Drain, wash and keep ready.
    In a pressure cooker or deep pan, add the oil and heat on medium-high.

      this looks really tasty and substantial:) It must be lovely to have your parents with you – glad your Dad tried the quinoa – I took a quinoa salad to a Jacob’s Join supper (Pot Luck supper) and most people there had never heard of it, let alone tasted it!

      Hi Richa, this is Vidya Prabu from Pinterest,

      I’ve been on your site before but this is my first time commenting.

      This stew looks delish and I can’t wait to try it! Good to hear that your mom and dad are now to used to Quinoa. Good luck on your Condo – it looks well put together and I’m sure it will get sold soon!

      Love your blog, and look forward to your posts. Thanks for contributing to my board on pinterest.

      -Vidya.
