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.
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

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.
A simple and comforting recipe, Valli…
Yummy and comforting dal.
