Crispy Peppery Moong Dal

This month's Magic Mingle was announced with the ingredients Moong Dal and Pepper. My first thoughts were of making some variety of Pongal. But later on I was thinking that some snack would be a good choice for the kids.

I usually get the ready made Crispy Moong Dal from the local Indian stores for the kids to munch on. This time around I thought to make it a little healthy for them to enjoy and tried it the microwave way! They just disappeared in a flash!

Ingredients - 

Moong Dal 1/4 cup
Salt as needed
Pepper as needed
Oil 1/2 tsp

Method Of Preparation -

Wash and soak the moong dal for about 1-2 hours. Drain and air dry for a few minutes.

In a microwave safe bowl (preferably ceramic/glass) spray oil and moong dal. Mix well so the moong dal is coated with oil.

Microwave it on high for 6-7 minutes in 1 minute intervals stirring in between. Remove from the microwave when the dal turns crispy and changes color to light golden brown.

Sprinkle salt and pepper and enjoy !
