Ingredients

1 Green turnip
½ cup Green moong dal
2 cups Water
¼ tsp Turmeric
½ tsp Tamarind paste
½ cup Water
2 tsp Salt

To roast & Grind:

1 tsp Coriander seeds
3 Red chili
½ cup Grated coconut

To Temper:

1 tsp Coconut oil
1 tsp Mustard seeds
½ tsp Hing - ½ tsp
Curry leaves few

Instructions

Prep - Work:

Wash the green moong dal and soak in water for 8 to 10 hours. Then drain the water and tie it in a muslin cloth or light cotton cloth and leave it a dark place for 24 to 48 hours for it to sprout. (As I mentioned above, I did not let the lentils grow entirely.)
Peel the turnip skin and chop into big cubes.
Dilute the tamarind paste in ½ cup of water and set aside.

Steps:

Pressure cook the green moong dal and turnip by adding 2 cups of water for three whistles. Allow the pressure to release and set it aside. Do not discard the water.
Meanwhile, heat a pan and dry roast the coriander seeds and red chilies until they turn light brown.
Allow it to cool and grind it into a smooth paste along with coconut by adding 3 to 4 tbsps of water.
Heat a pan and add coconut oil.
When the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds, hing and curry leaves.
When the mustard seeds splutter, add the cooked dal and turnip.
Add salt and turmeric powder and mix well.
Then add the tamarind water, ground coconut masala and bring to a boil.
And that's it. Muga Mole Randayi is ready.

Notes

Instead of green turnip, you can use raw banana, bamboo shoots or veggies of your choice.
As always, adjust salt and spice as per your preference.
