Green Moong Dal Sojji

• 1. Clean the rice thoroughly with water and drain the water. Fry small rice until golden brown.
• 2. Fry green moong dal until golden brown. It can be broken and used after it is fried. This makes the dal tasty and aromatic. Mix the fried dal with the fried small rice.
• 3. Pour 3 padis of ghee in a pot that can hold 5 padis of water and heat it. Refer to the 22nd recipe for seasoning by adding red chillies, urad dal and mustard. Add curry leaves to the seasoning and when the spluttering sound stops, add 2 padis of water to the prepared seasoning. Put turmeric powder in the water. When the water boils, add the fried rice. Stir well and close it with a lid. When the rice is ¾ cooked, add powdered salt to the boiling sojji and stir it with a ladle.
• 4. Heat ghee in an iron ladle or pan and after it is fully heated, add pepper, jeera to the ghee. Add asafoetida to it and after it becomes crispy, take it out of the ghee. Add only the ghee with pepper and cumin seed in the sojji. Mix it and keep it for 5 minutes and remove from the fire.
• 5. You can add this seasoning of cumin seed, pepper and asafoetida before adding the cleaned rice. By doing this, the aroma of jeera, pepper and asafoetida will spread all over the dish.
