One pot meal

Got home late. Around quarter to 9. Then got talking to Dad about a few things. Around 9:15 started thinking of cooking.
On TV, Hanuman is yet to born in the serial. Well, Maruti got struck by Indra and is brought back alive with a broken cheek. The name HANUMAN is yet to be given . Hanuman - the one with a broken cheek, 'Hanu'.
Had to think of a one pot meal. Which meant, think of something that can be done quickly , and less tensions and looking over the pot.
So got some clean moong dal. Washed and dried dal. About 2 cups.
Dry roasted the dal over a medium high flame, till the nutty flavor came through.
I chopped a brinjal into small pieces. This brinjal was good. Firm, solid and barely any seeds in it.
In a microwave safe bowl, added rice (gobindo bhog) - about 2 cups, the roasted dal, the cu vegetable, salt, turmeric and enough water.
Then put that in the microwave for 30 minutes on 60% Micro.
After 20 minutes, took the pan out, stirred it, added a little more water (it seemed a bit dry) and then 80% micro, for 15 minutes.
That was it.
Hot one pot meal with some ghee.
Tasted great.
