Spring Onion N Moong Dal

Preparation time – 15 Mins
Cooking Time – 15 Mins
Spring Onion is one of my favorites. And nothing can buy me the feeling of I buying it from Badi Chowdi mandi. We have our regular vendor – for almost 13 years. He has this bright smile and his wife is very pleasing and beautiful. Its always heart-warming to visit their bandi.
I’m almost addicted to this spring onion. I do try it out with moong dal, red gram and tomato. Once in a while I do cook with potato too. For today; I had to be a quickie. And did’nt have much time to ponder on the combination – hence rushed forward for moong dal.
