Tomato Moong dal

We  like to prepare any dal varities with tur dal or red gram dal.But making with moong dal also gives yammy taste like red gram dal.This is very  good combination  to eat with chapaties or pulkas.Iam adding lemon juice instead of  tamarind.If you do not like to add lemon juice ,you can add tamarind flakes 1 or 2 only .With out adding tamarind or lemon there is no change in the taste. Moong dal  is good for children and also  gives good taste to the recipes.

Coconut Tomato Chutney

Coconut tomato chutney is andhra special item and traditional one also.Iam using for prepare this chutney with mortar instead of mixie.In my  grand mother days there was no  mixie and grinder.They were preparing chutnies or masala powders with mortar.Mortar does not make the chutney smooth paste like mixie but the taste is different.we can enjoy that taste also. Mixing grated coconut with tomato is a wonderful combination.We should like to eat this chutney  with hot rice  completely without  any curry.
