Rice Moong dal Upma

This is one of the traditional dish in andhra.My grand mothern used to  prepare this recipe on  saturday night.On saturday nights they did not take dinner .In that place they had  tiffins.

This is very easy and simple recipe as break fast or evening tiffin.Only few ingredients enough to prepare this one  and preparation time is very less and cooking time may be taken 15 to 20 minutes.But soaking moong dal can  take 15 minutes.
