Mogar Aur Chasni Chawal

Rajasthani food tends to be a bit spicy at times, which is probably why Rajasthanis like to combine sweet and savoury foods, to achieve a balanced effect. Mogar and Chasni Chawal is a fine example of this, wherein spicy moong dal or mogar is eaten along with chasni or sweetened rice. Neither dish would be appealing if served alone, but when served together the fieriness of the mogar is offset by the sweetness of the rice, making both very enjoyable.

The chasni chawal as the name suggest tastes sweet.. and the mogar is spicy.. A perfect rajasthani dish with a sweet and spicy combination. The spicy mogar dal and sweet rice tastes really good togather..

Yellow moong dal with sweet rice. I love the yellow moong dal cooked in amchur and chilli powder.
