How to make Mangalorean Padengi Gassi Recipe - Green Moong Dal Curry
To begin making the Mangalorean Padengi Gassi Recipe; do make sure you have some sprouts ready. Click to see how to make sprouts at home.
Place the Green Moong Sprouts, chopped onions and tomatoes into the pressure cooker. Add the turmeric powder, salt, and 2-1/2 cups of water.
Cover the pressure cooker, place the weight on and cook until two whistles. After two whistles, turn the heat to low and simmer the green moong for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Allow the cooker to release its pressure naturally. The Moong will continue to cook, as long as there is pressure in the cooker.
While the pressure is releasing; we will go ahead and make the gassi curry paste.
Place a small pan on medium heat; dry roast the red chilies, coriander seeds and cumin seeds until you smell the aromas coming out. You don’t have to brown them too much.
Add the roasted condiments, along with the coconut to the blender. Add 1/4 cup of warm water and blend into a smooth gassi paste
Once the pressure is released from the pressure cooker; add the ground ghassi masala to the cooked Sprouted Moong dal. Stir well to combine. Check the salt and spice levels and adjust to suit your taste.
Place the pressure cooker on medium heat and start simmering the Padengi Gassi.
While the Padengi Gassi is simmering, we will make the seasoning.
In the same small pan where you dry roasted the chiles; heat a tablespoon of oil on medium heat. Add the mustard seeds, urad dal, red chilies and allow them to roast and crackle. Allow the dal to turn golden brown.
Once it's ready; add the garlic cloves and curry leaves. Stir-fry for a few seconds until you can smell the aromas of garlic and pour the seasoning into the simmering Padengi Gassi (Green Moong Dal Gassi)
Serve the Mangalorean Padengi Gassi Recipe/ Green Moong Dal Gassi along with Kadalai Manoli, Ghee Rice and Butter Milk to make a delicious lunch or dinner for your family.
