How to make mealtimes with toddlers easy, healthy and enjoyable? Moong dal congee is an awesome comfort food. Try this with your kids as a meal or beautify it and enhance it into a kheer with roasted nuts as a dessert if needed.
Ingredients
- Yellow moong dal: ¼ cup
- Jaggery powder: 1/3 cup
- Bay leaf: 2 nos
- Cloves: 2 nos
- Cashew cream : 3 tbsp
Method
- Heat a pan and roast moong dal on a low flame until you get a slight nutty aroma without changing the colour too much.
- Soak the roasted dal for around 2 hours.
- Cook the dal in enough water along with bay leaves and cloves, to get a smooth mushy cooked dal.
- Once cooked discard bay leaves and cloves.
- Mash the dal with the back of a ladle. If you prefer an absolutely non-grainy texture use a hand blender to blend it,
- Add 1/3 cup of jaggery powder and stir well. Adjust the consistency according to your preference by adding some water if you want to.
- Stir in cashew cream and serve either hot or cold.
Wellcure tip:
- The quantity of jaggery can be flexible depending on how sweet you like it.
- To serve as kheer roast chopped nuts and garnish.
- Use cardamom to vary the flavor.
Eating guide:
- Food group: lentils and nuts.
-
Nuts & nut milks are great additions post meals at night time. Easy to combine with other food groups (except fruits).
-
Lentils are a healthy addition to meals for making them filling and are rich in fiber and a good source of proteins as well.
