Green moong dal

This simple dal is a favourite of my mom's side.... And it gets finished up in no time at my place too...

Ingredients
Whole green moong dal 1 cup (washed well and soaked for 6-8 hours)

Coriander powder 1 tsp
Cumin powder 1/4 tsp
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
Asafoetida (a pinch)
Salt to taste

Tomato 1 medium chopped
Oil 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds, Jeera for seasoning

Jaggery to taste.(1/4 tsp) (optional)

Method

1. Cook the moong dal in pressure cooker for about 15-20 mins with 3 cups of water, salt, asafoetida, turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder.
2. Heat oil in a kadai, add the seasonings and once done, saute the onions till translucent.
3. Add the tomatoes and saute for another 4-5 mins. 
4. Once the tomatoes start breaking, add the cooked dal. Mix well. Adjust salt and water.
