Indian dal fry

We tried this Vegan Richa recipe, which utilizes red lentil dal and moong dal: https://www.veganricha.com/dal-fry-spiced-indian-lentil-soup/

We followed the recipe, except that at the end we added 1.5 Tbsp unsalted butter for brightness and balance. We enjoyed this dal with freshly steamed basmati rice. (Dec. 2024)

Note: While the red lentils cooked as normal, the moong dal felt slightly undercooked / toothy. The next time, we will try soaking the moong dal for 15 mins (which we typically do for kichri, for example).
