Herekai Towe..

Herekai known as Ridge gourd and Hesar Bale as moong dal.

Everyday I'm confused, what to cook for lunch and breakfast and I end up cooking, what strikes my mind first.

Take 1md cup of hesar bale and fry them in a kadai. Once it's warm, clean them with cold water twice and soak them with 3md cups of water for 10mins and cook them in with the same soaked water in md flame with a 1 tbspn of salt, 1/2 tspn of oil and a pinch of turmuric. This will ensure the dal gets cooked faster then usual.

Now for the veggies, I had to finely chop the below ingredients:

1/2 kg of herakai
2 md sized tomatoes
3-4 chillies
5-6 strands of coriander
5-6 curry leaves
1/4 tspn ginger paste

For tadka:
3 tspn oil
1/4 tspn mustard seeds
pinch of hing
1/4 tspn jeera

Take another kadai, pour 3tspn of oil, once it's warm add mustard seeds. After it spurters, add hing and jeera. Mix them well and now add herekai, tomatoes, ginger, curry leaves and chillies. Mix all of them well and close a lid to ensure the herekai gets cooked faster.

Meanwhile, the dal would have cooked, so mix the veggies and the dal and allow it to boil for 10mins. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Beat eaten with hot rice or chapatis
