Vegetable Moong Dal Fry

One of the easiest and healthiest side dish that can be made in a jiffy. This can also be given to kids if you reduce the amount of spice being added as this is full of proteins.
You can have this for both rice as well as Roti/Chapati and Naan. This is OPOS - One pot one shot cooking and hence it is really easy and convenient for me to make this after I return from office.
