    Days have a tendency to simply disappear and this week was no doubt was the fastest! With December soon coming to closer, we have hectic work at the office with deadlines looming over us. The funny part is for some departments it's a lean time and we decided to have fun events at the office. Part of the fun event was me cooking for a day.

    Seeing the Snack mela going on, my colleagues decided we would have a snack mela at offie. Will write about it in leisure, though the result being I have been busy with that and couldn't do much in terms for this BM.

    Today is the last day in the BM's first week and I enjoyed doing it with the lunch box dishes which really helps me plan for a variety in my box.

    Chayote with Moong Dal  

    Ingredients Needed:

    Chow Chow / Bengalore Vankaya - 1 medium
    Moong Dal - 3/4 cup
    Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
    Onions - 2 tbsp
    Mustard Seeds - 1/4 tsp
    Curry leaves few
    Salt to taste
    Turmeric powder a pinch
    Green Chilies - 2 long
    Oil - 1 tsp

    How to make Bengaluru Vankaya Pappu

    Wash and peel the outer skin on chow chow. Chop into 1 inch cubes. Microwave in just enough water for 10 mins.

    Wash and microwave the moong dal for 10 mins. Both chow chow and moong dal can be microwave together.

    Heat a pan with oil, season with cumin seeds, mustard and curry leaves. Saute with onions and chopped green chilies. When the onions turn colour, add the chow chow and moong dal. To get little thickness to the dal, add 1/2 water and salt. Bring to boil and simmer for 5 mins.

    Serve with rotis

    Today being the last day of BM 11, here's a recap of the posts.

      Your lunch box ideas have given me ideas for my daughter's lunch box too. Thanks. This pappu looks so good. Loved the colour. I always make only the dry curry or regular Kootu. Will try this one..combo with onion looks very nice

      very interesting, like the coating of moong dal on the veggie, makes it more satvik instead of tomato and onion gravy.
