A classic recipe from the kitchens of Maharashtra, the Moong Dal Vadi Rasa is a tongue-tickling preparation of moong dal vadis cooked in a gravy of tomatoes, blended with onions and spice powders.

The rich flavour of the tomato-based gravy seeps into the vadis giving them a really nice flavour. Garnishing with coriander gives the Moong Dal Vadi Rasa an instant aroma boost, so make sure you don’t skip it.

It is very important to serve this Maharashtrian delicacy immediately after preparation.

You can also try other specialties from the region, like the Maharashtrian Pitla and Maharashtrian Amboli .

Hi Upendra, we don''t weigh the weight of the food we cook. We estimate the amount a serving size is. The key to take from the analysis of a recipe is if it''s healthy and fits into your lifestyle. When in doubt, eat less of that recipe. We present the facts as we see it. It has taken several years of research to create a detailed database of Indian foods to present to all our members are we love health. From our humble experience don''t get into weighing your food. That will just create stress to you and that itself will lead to stopping the fat burning process. Hope this answers some questions.
