Instructions
  1. Wash green moong, tuvar daal, brown lentil well. You can use a pressure cooker or an instant pot to cook everything. I cook it in a pressure cooker. Add it in the pressure cooker with 4 cups of water ,turmeric, asafoetida and let it boil. Cover with lid, and add the weight. Wait for 2-3 sounds and turn off the heat. Let the pressure calm down while you prepare for the masala that goes into the dal.
  2. In a large pan, add oil. After it gets hot, add the cumin seeds. Once it brown, for 10 seconds, add the onion, green chilies and garlic. Saute it for a minute before add the tomatoes. Add the potatoes and yam, saute on high heat and keep stirring. Add the chili powder and enough salt. Saute and let the veggies cook 60 perfect which will take only about 4 minutes. Add the chopped kale and Vegetable stock or water. Check for seasoning. Let it boil on medium heat and let it cook for another 3 minutes.
  3. Then add the boiled dal, a can of drained and wash chickpeas and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  4. Turn off the heat and serve with brown rice, raw onions, green chilies, and some sev. You can have it without rice too, great stew.
