If I make Indian food at home it&#8217;s mostly South Indian dishes, at times I do make a few North Indian dishes too. I do have a good understanding about most of the South Indian dishes so I thought it&#8217;s big time I switch to North Indian cooking. Indian cuisine is divided into South Indian and North Indian. However, it&#8217;s so vast and each state in India has it&#8217;s own unique flavors and dishes. I will first share all the common North Indian dishes after that I&#8217;ll experiment with different flavors and spices.<\/p>\n<p>This kale mung bean curry is more of a fusion dish, dal curry is very popular in North India, since I&#8217;ve added coconut it gets a South Indian touch too. Usually, spinach is added but I wanted to make it different so I added kale. You could add chana dal or toor dal instead of mung dal. This curry goes well with rice, chapati, rotis etc.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-14893 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/kale-mung-bean-dal-curry.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/kale-mung-bean-dal-curry.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/kale-mung-bean-dal-curry-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step by Step Pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooked Mung bean and kale<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14894\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/making-kale-mung-bean-curry.jpg\" alt=\"making kale-mung bean curry\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/making-kale-mung-bean-curry.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/making-kale-mung-bean-curry-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/making-kale-mung-bean-curry-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong> After adding coconut paste<\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14895\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/making-mung-bean-kale-curry.jpg\" alt=\"making mung bean kale curry\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/making-mung-bean-kale-curry.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/making-mung-bean-kale-curry-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/making-mung-bean-kale-curry-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Kale-mung-bean-curry.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Kale-Mung Bean Dal Curry- Kale-Mung bean in Coconut gravy<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Curry<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT25M\">25 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">5 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mung or Moong dal, (without skin) soaked in water- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Kale leaves, chopped- 1 bunch<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Green chili, halved- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Small onions, halved- 6<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Tomato, chopped- 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]To Grind[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut grated &#8211; 3\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cumin seeds- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 1\/4 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For Seasoning[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut oil or vegetable oil- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mustard seeds- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole dried red chili &#8211; 2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Soak the mung or moong dal in water for 2 hours.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Chop the kale leaves.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Into a blender jar, add coconut, cumin seeds, turmeric powder &amp; water, grind to a coarse paste.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Into a pressure cooker, add the mung dal, green chili, small onions, chopped kale leaves, tomato, salt and water.
