I have never tried this recipe without asafetida. Actually asafetida is used to prevent flatulence. That is why I like to add it to most of the lentil curries, and I also like its fragrance.

Hey Sarita! You are back after such a long time...good to see your recipe again here...this tadka moong is very similar to tadka chana. have you ever tried that?? If you add garlic in this recipe, you won't feel like leaving this tadka moong...:))

I'll definetely give a try for tadka chana. I'll try this recipe with garlic next time. I usually make this dish during the days I fast.
