I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

	Yellow Mung Beans with Sautéed Onion and Ginger

Serves: 4

(Dhulli Mungi ki Dal)
Category: Mung Beans, Vegan
Makes 4 to 6 servings
Yellow mung dal is a hands-down favorite in northern India. Considered light and easy to digest, this quick-cooking dal is comfort food par excellence. It marries well with whole-wheat chapattis (whole-wheat griddle breads) and with rice--the two food staples of India.

1. Place the dal, 3 1/2 cups water, green chili peppers, turmeric, and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the dal, uncovered, stirring occasionally and watching carefully that it doesn't boil over, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the remaining water, if needed, and simmer until the dal is soft and creamy, about 15 minutes. Mix in the cilantro during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover and keep warm

2. Heat the oil (and ghee, if using) in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and add the cumin seeds; they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Add the ginger and cook another minute. Then add the coriander and cumin and stir about 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and add the paprika. Immediately pour the tarka over the warm dal and swirl lightly to mix, with parts of it visible as garnish. Top with black pepper and serve.
