Moong Dal Bhajia in Tomato Gravy

For the Moong Dal Bhajias

Take the moong dal paste in a bowl. Add coarsely ground coriander seeds, chopped coriander leaves,  garam masala, green chilli and salt. Mix well and form golf sized balls. Steam these until cooked (approximately 10 minutes – a toothpick inserted in the centre should come out clean) and then bake in the oven at 180 °C for 5-10 minutes.

For the Tomato Gravy

Steam the tomatoes and grind to a paste. In a pan, take the tomato paste, add all the masalas mentioned above and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat.
Add some water if needed, to obtain your preferred consistency and let it cook for a while. Allow to simmer on low heat. After 5-10 minutes, add the bhajias and cook for another 5 minutes. Garnish with coriander and serve with steamed red rice.
