Yellow Moong Dal Soup
Yellow Moong Dal Soup
This dal (soup) paired with rice is genuine comfort food for my family. Whenever we all come back from vacation or my husband or I come back from a work trip, we always have a big bowl of it for dinner. It’s light, healthy, and super-easy to make. Sometimes we eat it by itself as a soup, and other times we have it with vegan naan and cabbage to make it a complete meal.
