Saayi Dal | Sindhi Chilka Moong Dal

Saayi Dal Sindhi Chilka Moong DalDal is staple food in our life I make dal almost everyday so I keep trying different variety and method of dal mostly to keep myself entertain as I get bored of routine very fast.  I have already blogged hara moong dal tadka recipe and chilka mung dal fry recipe too and this dal is similar to chilka moong dal fry but then this is a Sindhi recipe of mung dal, this dal has very simple flavor of cumin, garlic and it's also very light and mild to eat, for a spicy and little on heavy side of dal check the hara mung dal recipe.  
Having dal with skin is better than skinless dal (lentil) like I said in my masoor dal post it always more nutritious and filling. You can use the same method and try any other dal too but don't try this with green gram or hari mung (moong) dal as I find it the dal very bland and it doesn't bring all the goodness of hara dal but perhaps you might like it.  So this saayi dal I made for one Saturday lunch along with lal bhaji saag and some simple salad for a satisfying meal.  Let's just check out recipe now...
