overcooked Mung Dal

this morning I wanted use morning time to cook my Mung Dal so it is ready when I come back from my shopping trip and I can have a nice lunch...

of course I forgot that the Dal is cooking and it took the girls and me quite a while to get dressed today. so I came back to the kitchen and found a completely overcooked Mung Dal :-)

what can you do? not much. so I left for school, went for a lovely cup of coffee and did manage to get all the shopping from my list done!

feeling great and with still some time left until my little girl was coming home I decided to make this overcooked Dal into a spiced Mung Puree!

here is what I did:

heat up some Ghee and put in:
mustard seeds
fresh ginger (cut small)
fresh green chili (cut small)
asa foetida
tumeric
then I put in the Mung Puree and a little water and toped it up with some fresh coriander

yummy :-)

and did I mention my new kitchen toy yet!? it's a JUICER! I was thinking of buying one for all last year and well, I finally did!

now the kids enjoy their fresh apple juice and also do like the grape juice...I love a glass of fresh carrot-orange juice...
