Moong Dal & Poha Bowl
Moong Dal with poha and gentle vegetables — an easy morning meal.
Breakfast· 42 min total· 5 ingredients
Ingredients
- 70 g yellow moong dal
- 70 g thick poha
- 60 g mixed pumpkin
- blueberries
- 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
Rinse 70 g thick poha until just soft, then steam for 3–4 minutes — light and quick.
- 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 pumpkin for 6–9 minutes until just tender.
- 4
Let everything cool to room temperature, then fold the moong dal, poha and vegetables together.
- 5
Scatter 3–4 blueberries on top.
- 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.
