Moong dal usli

This is one of the traditional konkani breakfast serve it with fried Jackfruit papad (easily available in Mangalore stores) nevertheless becomes one of the most delectable meals for me . Not only filling but the simplicity of the ingredients used here makes it more lovely and authentic , so thought of sharing this simple and lovely breakfast recipe which can be made quickly and doesn't need any accompaniment to be served along with it ...The main key ingredient which hypes the taste of the dish is ginger , so if u love the gingery flavour ...serve this to our loved one's and I am sure they will enjoy this :)
