What are you making for breakfast tomorrow? How about this quick and healthy Vagharela Mug? It simple, quick and nutritious. It's a great lunch box idea and can be prepared ahead of time. You can make it even healthier by using sprouted green gram.
This tastes great all by itself and goes well when had with chapatis and rice too. We like the flavor of ghee but you're welcome to use oil too. Try it for yourself and let me know how you like it.
Ingredients:
Whole Green Gram, 1/2 cup soaked for atleast an hour
Ghee, 1 tsp
Cumin Seeds, 1/2 tsp
Mustard Seeds, 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida a pinch
Curry Leaves, a sprig
Green Chilies, 2 roughly chopped
Onions, half an onion roughly chopped
Salt to taste
Turmeric Powder, 1/3 tsp
Coriander Cumin Powder, 1/2 tsp
Red Chili Powder, 1/2 tsp
Jaggery Powder, 1/2 tsp
Fresh Coriander Leaves, 1 tbsp
A wedge of lemon for each serving
Procedure:
1. Pressure cook the whole green gram until soft with salt. I gave it 3 whistles and then set aside for the pressure to release by itself before opening.
2. Heat oil in a pan.
3. Add cumin and mustard seeds and let them splutter.
4. Add asafoetida.
5. Flavor with curry leaves.
6. Next add in the onions and green chilies. Saute till the onions turn translucent.
7. Season with salt, coriander cumin and red chili powder.
8. Add the jaggery powder.
9. Now add the boiled green gram and mix gently to combine well with the prepared mixture.
10. Give it about 8-10 minutes on low heat. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
11. Serve hot with a lemon wedge on the side.
