We used to make mung dhal thin and blended smooth, to be used as a gravy. Then we started having it thick, spicy and unblended, with bits of fresh ginger, tomato and cilantro, at a local Thai restaurant. Our Savvy Veg recipe evolved from that.
Now we like our mung dhal thick and chunky with vegetables. We eat it often, because it's satisfying, easily digested, and versatile. It goes with every kind of grain or vegetable, and freezes well for quick meals.
This version of mung dhal calls for yam and spinach, but it's also tasty with cauliflower or carrot and green beans, or tomato or potato instead of yam. Vary the veggies according to your taste.
Don't skimp on the olive oil, as legumes are astringent, and the oil makes the soup smooth and rich. Plus this is a big recipe. We suggest freezing what you don't eat for another day.
Crockpot directions are included in the recipe
Menu Suggestion: Yummy with tortillas, chapati, or artisan bread. For a full meal, serve with steamed brown or white basmati rice or other grain, along with any of the following: curried veggies, plain steamed veggies, a salad, chutney. Optional: raita or Indian Lassi for lacto-vegetarians.
