With temperatures getting lowered quickly, this winter is going to be very memorable. Today is a special recipe focussed on kids and mothers of newborn. Not just them, elder ones would also like this soup. The moong dal (yellow Moong Lentils) are a rich source of proteins and fibre and very low in fat. Easily digestible, the moong dal soup becomes the best meal for mothers who are breast-feeding and kids with age more than 6 months. In my own experience, the moong dal yellow and green (split) are really good as they make you full and yet are not heavy for stomach. In this recipe, I have used Moong Dal (Yellow Lentil) and Split Masar Dal (Pink Lentil) in equal proportion. I have added tomatoes and Carrot along with dal. In Winters, Carrots are really great in taste. Traditionally I am used to add a Hing (Asafoetida) Tadka in my dals. The flavour of Hing is amazing and it aids in digestion specially for kids. For newborns, the digestion process is tough and sometimes they have stomach ache which ofcourse they cant explain and they keep crying. So, Applying Hing mixed with Desi Ghee on their Naval releases their pain. This is grandma's Nuskha which I have successfully tried on several occasions.
Hope you like this quick and simple recipe which is good for precisely all age groups and requires no extra shopping for ingredients. When you try it, do share your experience with me.
