Moringa leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, lowers blood sugar levels and fights inflammation. Desi ghee is an important ingredient which helps in breaking down millets during digestion.

• Moringa Greens/Beans 1 Cup chopped fine

• Asafoetida A pinch
• Turmeric Powder ½ tsp
• Red chilli Powder 1 tsp
• Salt to taste
• Cumin Seeds 1 tbsp
• Water 2 Cups

Method of Preparation

Heat ghee in a pressure cooker. Add the asafoetida and cumin. Once the aroma arises, add the green chillies, onion, ginger and garlic and saute. Add the tomatoes and saute. Then add turmeric powder, red chilli powder and mix. Add tomatoes and cook them well and then add the greens. Saute well. Drain and add the millets and the Tur dal. Mix well and let it cook for a few minutes. Add sufficient water and salt and let it come to a boil. Cover the lid, add the weight and let it come to two whistles. Take off the fire and let it cool.
