This one pot dal is very easy to make and gets ready under 30 minutes. Mix vegetable moong dal is just another alternative to make lentil recipe more tasty and nutritious with added vegetables.

We can use any type of lentil to make this mix vegetable dal recipe, but it is best to make with red lentil, yellow lentil, Bengalgram, and split pigeon pea lentil. Use any seasonal vegetables to make it. I used frozen mix vegetables having beans, peas, carrots, cauliflower. This dal goes very well with rice and flatbreads. You can also use pumpkin, bottle gourd, broccoli, and zucchini. Non-vegans can add ghee which will bring the best flavor of this dal.

I remember having this recipe on my older blog in 2007. Making a post again for the same recipe as this is really a protein packed and nutritious dal which should be a part of daily cooking.

Kids too enjoy without fuss as vegetables are cooked and sort of mashed. They can't even find a trace of any veggie in the dal. You can have mix vegetable moong dal as a soup as well.
