- Prepare the dal: Wash the split yellow moong dal and soak it in water for about 30 minutes. Drain the soaked dal and set it aside.
- Sauté aromatics: Heat the cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds. Then add minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies. Sauté until fragrant.
- Add onions and tomatoes: Add the chopped onions to the pot. Sauté until they turn translucent. Then add the chopped tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes soften and break down, forming a thick paste.
- Add spices and dal: Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt to taste. Mix well. Then add the soaked moong dal to the pot. Stir to combine with the tomato-onion mixture.
- Cook the dal: Pour water or vegetable broth into the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the dal is cooked through and soft.
- Blend the soup: Once the dal is cooked, use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if necessary.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
