Moong Dal & Millet (Ragi/Bajra) Stew
Moong Dal with millet (ragi/bajra) and gentle vegetables — a balanced midday bowl.
Lunch· 42 min total· 5 ingredients
Ingredients
- 70 g yellow moong dal
- 70 g ragi or bajra millet
- 60 g mixed carrot and spinach
- spoon of curd
- Fresh water for cooking
Portion & storage
These amounts make roughly one day of food for a ~10 kg adult dog, split across the day. As a rough guide feed 2–3% of body weight daily: a 3 kg dog ≈ 60–90 g, a 20 kg dog ≈ 300–450 g, a 30 kg dog ≈ 450–650 g. Puppies, working, pregnant or underweight dogs need more; seniors and low-activity dogs need less. Introduce any new recipe over 5–7 days, mixed into the current food. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight box and use within 2 days; serve at room temperature.
Method
- 1
Cook 70 g ragi or bajra millet in 220 ml water for 20 minutes to a soft mash.
- 2
Rinse and pressure-cook the moong dal with 1.5 cups water until very soft and mushy (about 3 whistles).
- 3
Steam 60 g total of chopped carrot for 6–9 minutes until just tender. Wilt a small handful of chopped spinach in the last minute.
- 4
Let everything cool to room temperature, then fold the moong dal, millet (ragi/bajra) and vegetables together.
- 5
Once the bowl has cooled, stir in 1 tbsp plain curd.
- 6
Serve at room temperature. Store any extra in the fridge and use within 2 days.

These are recipe ideas, not a complete daily diet plan. Every dog has different nutritional needs based on age, size, weight, breed and overall health. Use these to add variety and inspiration — introduce anything new slowly over 5–7 days, and talk to your veterinarian before making major changes, especially for puppies, seniors, pregnant dogs, or dogs with allergies or medical conditions. Never feed onion, garlic, chives, leek, grapes, raisins, chocolate, caffeine, xylitol, macadamia nuts, or cooked bones.
