Moong Dal 印式黃扁豆湯

It is grateful to live in my hometown Hong Kong, although which is a small city, but we can find plenty of international foods and ingredients.  There are many Indian groceries everywhere, recently I found a small one just in my neighbourhood, so happy... 

In the southern Indian cuisine, dal plays a very important role which is included almost in each meal.  As a vegetarian who consume the egg and diary products, that's very similar to Indian diet, let's do a Moong Dal.

Recipe:  (for 2 persons)
portion A
1 cup        moong dal (split green bean)
1 tbsp       kidney bean
3.5 cups    water

portion B
1 pc          red onion in dice
2 pcs         tomato in dice
1 pc          carrot in dice
1 tsp         dal masala(can find in indian grocery or western supermarket)
2 tbsp       olive oil or ghee
salt and pepper to taste

Cooking method:  boil in medium pot 

Procedure:
a)  Wash the beans and put in the water under big flame until boiled, then turn to small flame and cook about 35 mins (it take just 10-15 mins if we use the pressure cooker);

b)  Wash all the ingredients of portion B, cut into cube size and put aside;

c)   Put olive oil in a pan, pour the red onions to pan fry under small flame with all the spices, until the onion turn soft, and then pull the tomato (leave some pcs of tomato aside) and carrot together, fry till all mixture are soft (put a little water if needs); 

d)  When the dal soup is ready, stir the mixture c) into the pot, done and serve with indian bread, yummy :)

香港是我的家鄉，雖然是一個小城市, 我非常感恩能住在這，我們可以找到大量的國際食品和配料。還有隨處可見許多印度雜貨店，最近我發現了一個小的就在我家附近，太高興了...

在印度南部的美食，扁豆發揮非常重要的作用，每餐幾乎都有它。以一個食雞蛋和奶製品的素食主義者來說，印度菜是非常適合的，讓我們做一個Moong Dal。

配方：（2人）
部分A
1杯         moong DAL（拆分綠豆）
1湯匙      腰豆
3.5杯      水

部分B
1個          紅洋蔥切骰子型
2個          番茄切骰子型
1個          胡蘿蔔切骰子型
1茶匙        dal masala (可以在印度雜貨店或西式超市找到）
2湯匙       橄欖油或精練牛油
鹽和胡椒調味

烹飪方法：用中鍋煮

步驟：
a）將豆A）洗淨，放在水里下大的火煮直到煮沸，然後轉小火，煮約35分鐘（如果我們用高壓鍋，只需要10-15分鐘）;

b）洗滌部分B），將所有材料切成小立方體，待用;

c）在平底鍋放橄欖油, 倒紅洋蔥下油鍋，加入香料用小火炒至洋蔥變軟；然後放番茄（留下番茄某些電腦除外）和胡蘿蔔一起炒，直到所有材料變軟（如果需要可放一點水）;
