Turai Moong Dal Sabji | Ridge Gourd and Yellow Lentil Curry

Turai Moong Daal – A very healthy and light to digest curry of ridge gourd and yellow lentil.

Turai moong daal ki sabji is very healthy and easy to make curry . Turai/ Gilki is a summer special vegetable so I combined it with yellow lentil ,fresh herbs and  spices only.

This turai sabji is very light and smooth in texture. Many people don’t like eating turai ki sabji but when you combine turai with some other vegetable or lentil then the taste enhances. Addition of moong daal makes this curry very light , creamy and comforting.

Turai/ Turiya is used in almost all the Indian states with different names-gilki/ tori/Jhinga/Peere/turia/ Hirekayi/ Peechinga /dodka/ Sponge Gourd / Ridge Gourd etc.

This turai Moong Dal sabji / Turia Mug ni Dal is best served with hot ghee wali chapati and some dry aloo sabji on side. You can also enjoy it with hot steamed rice with a tsp of hot ghee on top. Lauki / Turai/ Tinda are best cooked with minimum spices and oil to get that mild flavor suited for summers.

I have made this Turiya Mag Ni Dal with some gravy but if you want to make it dry then instead of using pressure cooker cook it in a pan or kadhai. Turai itself releases quite a lot of water while cooking so no need to add more water in it , I just sprinkled 2 tbsp of water only but if you want more gravy then add water accordingly.
