Step:

  1. In a pressure cooker, add some mustard seeds and cumin seeds to some oil

  2. When the mustard seeds start spluttering add the onions, green chillies, ginger and garlic and saute for a few minutes

  3. When the onions turn soft, add the tomatoes and the masala powders

  4. Next add the peanuts and let it all cook for a couple of minutes

  5. Finally add the moong dal, couple of glasses of water,  and some salt

  6. Give this a good stir, put the pressure cooker lid on and allow it cook over a few whistles

  7. Once the pressure is off, your curry should be done!  If the curry is not thick, mush some of the moong dal in the pot and allow it to cook over medium heat, this should thicken it up

  8. This goes great with some chappathis! It is very filling and really healthy!
