Mung Bean - Carrot curry

Whenever my mom makes carrot curry with mung beans in it, I love the combo curry. Mung adds a nice touch to the taste of carrot, and they go well together.


Ingredients:

grated carrot - 1 cup
split yellow mung beans - 1/2 cup
green chillies - 3 medium-sized (adjust according to taste)
curry powder - 1/2 tsp
oil - 1 tbsp
mustard seeds - 1 tsp
cumin seeds (jeera) - 1 tsp
black gram (urad dal) - 1 tsp
curry leaves - a twig
lemon juice - a few drops

Method:

Add 1 cup water to mung beans and microwave for 5 minutes. Take oil in a sauce pan and add mustard, cumin, black gram and curry leaves. When it splutters, add green chillies and fry for a minute. Mix in the mung beans and carrots. Stir for a few minutes and mix in the lemon juice.
