Tetor Dal(Dal With Bitter Gourd)

Ingredients:

1 cup Split Yellow Moong Dal
1 Karela or Bitter Gourd cut into small pieces
2” grated ginger
½ tsp Mustard seeds
4-5 green chillies
Salt to taste
Oil
2 tsp ghee

Procedure:
Wash & chop the karela or bitter gourd in small pieces. Heat a Kadhai or Frying Pan.
Dry roast the split yellow moong dal till you get that nice roasted smell and see the dal has browned very lightly. In a pressure cooker, cook the roasted dal. Heat Oil & 1 tsp of Ghee in a Kadhai/Frying Pan. Sauté the chopped karela till they are lightly browned and remove and keep aside.
Add 1/2 tsp of mustard seeds to the oil. When the Mustard starts sputtering add the grated ginger and slit green chillies. Sauté for a couple of minutes and add the pressure cooked dal. Sauté a little and add the fried karela. Add about 3-4 cups of water. Add salt and bring to a boil. Add about ½ tsp of Ghee before you take the Dal off the heat.
Enjoy with white rice.
