What Is The Difference Between Moong Dal And Moong Dal Soup
I don’t know how exactly to explain the difference between a dal soup and a dal to you. But I think two things are clearly different between dal and a dal soup.
- A dal is thicker and can be scooped up with naan or chappati for example. In contrast, a dal soup is to be sipped out of a mug.
- A dal is usually left with the individual lentils mushy, but still somewhat intact. A dal soup is usually blended into a smoother mixture .
But really it’s just a nomenclature issue because they are both equally delicious. Why chose? Make both!
Do I Have To Soak Moong Dal?
One of the perks in choosing this type of lentil is how small it is and how quickly it cooks. Some types of beans and lentils require you to soak them beforehand so they cook quicker. However, there is no need to soak moong dal before you prepare this recipe.
Is Moong Dal Healthy?
Moong dal is full of essential nutrients such as vitamins A, B, C, AND E . It is incredibly high in protein and high in fiber while being low in fat. This makes it a very healthy and well-rounded dish.
How To Make This Lentil Stew Recipe
- Place all ingredients except for the ghee and cumin seeds into the inner liner of your pressure cooker.
- Cook on high pressure. Natural pressure release and then quick release all remaining pressure.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the lentil soup until you have a smooth mixture.
- In a small heatproof pan or a tadka ladle, heat the ghee . When it is shimmering hot, add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle. Add the garlic and let it sizzle but be careful not to burn. Pour this hot flavored ghee onto the soup and mix well.
- Serve immediately with a swirl of cream on top of each bowl of soup.

I know what you’re thinking. You think I’ve lost my mind and have just started throwing things together and eating them. You think I’m crazy for making a Tomato Mayonnaise Shrimp because those ingredients don’t sound like they go together at all, but you need to try this recipe before you knock it.
Set aside your reservations for this recipe, and what the name sounds like, and make this Tomato Mayonnaise Shrimp. This shrimp is spicy and creamy and is really tasty. The sauce is the perfect blend of sweet and heat and marries with the shrimp really well.

I love cooking shrimp in the Air Fryer. Shrimp cook quickly no matter how you cook them, but cooking them in the Air Fryer just seems to make them perfect. This entire dish will only take you about fifteen minutes from start to finish, so it the perfect appetizer.
The bonus is, this is actually Keto and low-carb, so you can serve this to your guests whether they’re dieting or not! I love to create recipes that are Keto or low-carb, but that those who aren’t dieting would never know the difference. Good food should be just that, good food.
