Toor dal/ Moongdal                     1 cup 150g    


Chilly                                           1[if it is not spicy you can add 2 or 3]

Method Of Preparation


First pressure cook Toordal/Moongdal for  3 minutes with all the vegetables. Then Mash this with a spoon. If it is too thick add little hot water. You can serve as it is. But some children don't like this. So let us sieve(filter) the juice using strainer with somewhat large hole. Now the Soup is ready.

Final Preparation[If your child likes Mustard seeds, Leaves and Shallots]

Heat 1 table spoon Oil or Ghee and splutter 2 T spoons Mustard seeds, a few Curry leaves or Coriander leaves and 1Spoon chopped Shaallots. Pour it on the Soup. It goes well with Rice and Pappadam





Serve your child with the Healthy Soup
