Moong dal is one of the oldest and most trusted foods in our part of the world. It is an approved food for new mothers, babies, senior citizens, those with weak digestion etc. I have always loved it. One of my favorite ways to eat it is in the form of chutney. The recipe reflects the simplicity of ancient lifestyle. They needed no Microwave, no oven, nothing. They could accomplish the task of making this chutney with a simple stove and a mortar-pestle.
We will need,
Moong Dal 1/2 cup
Dried Red Chillies 5-10 Adjust according to preference
Tamarind pulp 1/2 tsp
Garlic 2 cloves
Curry Leaves 10-15
Coriander leaves a handful
Salt to taste
Coconut 2 tbsp
Method:

@Sharada,
Well, honestly I am not quite sure. We have never done it before. But if following the general rule, leave a film of oil on top of the chutney and they last long...May be you can try that and see if it works!!
