Background

The combination of any kind of peppers and lentils give a very refreshing taste to the dish. It goes very well with steamed rice or roti. This dish is a regular at my place. It is a very colourful and tasty dish with flavours of all the peppers.

3 Peppers (Green, red and yellow)
1 Onion (chopped)
¼ cup Yellow moong dal (soaked for 10 min)
2 Dry red chillies
1 tsp Cumin seeds

Instructions

Heat the oil in a pan. Add the cumin seeds and red chillies and let them splutter.
Add the onions and fry them until they are transparent.
Add turmeric and the yellow moong dal with approximately ¼ cup of water. The dal needs to be cooked until it becomes soft but separated (not squashed).
Add the peppers and cook until they are soft.
