Instructions
Prepare the Bread Cups

- Lightly brush the bread circles with oil. Gently press each circle into the muffin tin cups to form the bread cups.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

- In a bowl, combine cooked and cooled moong dal, diced boiled potatoes, chopped onions, and chopped tomatoes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, black salt, cumin powder, black pepper, and remaining salt.
- Add the yogurt mixture to the dal mixture and stir gently to combine.
Assemble and Serve
- Spoon the dal salad into the baked bread cups.
- Garnish with nylon sev, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Dal Salad Bread Cups
- Soaking the moong dal for at least 30 minutes before cooking will help it cook faster and become more tender.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of garam masala or turmeric to the dal salad.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of spices to your liking. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chili powder.
- If you don't have nylon sev, you can garnish with chopped cilantro or a sprinkle of roasted peanuts for added texture and flavor.
