The consistent rain had made me very lazy to cook.So just browsed my system and I found these photos in my gallery lying for many days.So thought of posting it.This dish is very easy to make and also can be had like a salad.My children have it like a sundal.The banana stem as such has many medicinal uses.Infact many people drink juice of it to reduce their weight.
Banana stem combined with the moong dhal is a healthy combination and a cup of it is enoug for a 11am snack.The dish is quick to make and also calls for very few ingredients...
