- First, wash moongra and dry them a little bit. Take a small bunch of moongra. Remove the top part of one to two inches and finely chop them.

Notes
1. I will recommend buying moongra those are longer in size. They are easy to sort and chop.
2. Chop them in big pieces or small according to your preference.
3. They cook very fast. So, keep an eye and check in between. As the overcooking ruin their taste.
4. Do not forget to stir in between to avoid burning at the bottom.
5. Use mustard oil which enhances the flavour of the dish.
