Homemade soups are far more healthier than the ones out of a package or take aways from a hotel.
I serve hot piping nutritious soups for dinner,most weekdays...and my family looks forward to slurping it down with sides of salad ,crisps or breads.
Among the various combinations of soup that I make,I look forward to making and having The Moong Dal Soup..its a hearty ,fragrant and lipsmackingly tasty soup.,and since moong dal is a regular at most Indian homes..it is v.much recommended that you try it atleast once.
Moong has been a favorite dal and I cant wait to fill you in with details of the recipe.
Today is special as I posted my first cooking video. Moong Dal Soup
My family,friends and well wishers have been after me to start videos and posts...I have been extremely skeptical about many things..
Will it be a success or Will it fall flat on its face.,?
Will people call me names on You Tube..?
Will I be trolled?
With a whole lot of ifs and buts in my mind, I sat cozy and feeling safe...not having to present anything ...not to speak on video, and make people comment on my voice or way of speaking.etc etc
Well ,I have fought many a demon to get to Step One...and thats why,I guess ,with all its imperfections and audio glitches....this video will always remain close to my heart .
