Looking for a light, nourishing soup that’s perfect for weight loss, glowing skin, and digestion? This Moong Dal Detox Soup is my go-to recipe for cozy evenings, fasting days, or when you need a warm, healing meal.
Made with yellow moong dal, beetroot, carrot, tomatoes, and ginger, it’s protein-rich, gut-friendly, and super easy to make.
🥄 Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 1 tbsp ghee
- ½ cup moong dal (yellow split gram), washed
- Pinch of asafoetida (hing)
- ¼ cup beetroot, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, chopped
- 2 medium tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 3–3.5 cups water
🔥 Instructions
1. Prepare the Base
Heat ghee in a pan. Add a pinch of hing and sauté for a few seconds. Then add grated ginger and sauté until fragrant.
2. Add Dal & Vegetables
Add the washed moong dal, carrot, beetroot, and tomatoes. Stir for 2–3 minutes to combine.
3. Cook the Soup
Add water, salt, and black pepper.
- Option 1: Pressure cook for 3–4 whistles until dal is soft.
- Option 2: Boil in a pot for 15–20 minutes until dal is tender.
4. Blend for Smoothness
Once cooked, blend the soup for a smooth, creamy texture. For a chunky version, you can skip this step.
