• I choose "Seer Fish" for this recipe. It's known as King fish and Vanjaram in tamil.Seer Fish fry is a famous starter dish in Indian hotels and restaurants prepared with seer fish slices marinated in a spicy mix, coated with rava on sides and deep fried.

Palak moong dal

Palak moong dal

Palak moong dal recipe is very healthy and homey. Even though this requires very minimal ingredients, it tastes very delicious and flavorful. It is very easy and quick to make.

I do make many dal recipes which include greens like methi dal, beet greens dal, dill leaves dal. This is one good way to include green leafy vegetables in your diet. This kind of dal is perfect for those kids who do not like to eat greens as a side dish. Please adjust the chili if making for kids.

It tastes best when it served with plain rice. But sometimes I like to have it as a soup as such.
