We recommend trying Moong dal in the following recipes: 1. Moong Dal Tadka (Lentil Soup) 2. Moong Dal Cheela (Pancake) 3. Moong Dal Kitchari (Common in Ayurvedic Food) 4. Moong Dal Ladoo (Indian sweet) 5. Moong Dal Dhokla (Indian snack) |
Plant Based Source of ProteinMoong Dal is a great source for protein and is completely plant based. More and more people are interested in following a vegetarian or vegan diet and reducing their use of animal products. Getting enough protein may be difficult but moong dal makes this easy. Lentils are a great source of protein to add to a lunch or dinner routine. They can be added to stews, curries, salads, or rice to give an extra portion of protein. |
Perfect for Ayurvedic RecipesThis delicate and nutritious dal is an essential ingredient in the traditional Ayurvedic dish —kitchari (we have a delicious recipe below). Kitchari is a combination of basmati rice, moong dal, and spices that is easy to digest and great for cleansing. Since it high in fiber and in protein, it nourishes the body and its muscles. |
Jiva Organics Ingredients can create a delicious, homemade Kitchari!
Preparation
- Wash the rice and dal separately in at least 2 changes of water. Add the 6 cups of water to the rice and dal and cook covered until it becomes soft, about 20 minutes.
- While that is cooking, prepare any vegetables that suit your constitution. Cut them into smallish pieces. Add the vegetables to the cooked rice and dal mixture and cook 10 minutes longer.
- In a separate saucepan, sauté all of the seeds in the ghee until they pop. Then add the other spices. Stir together to release the flavors. Stir the sautéed spices into the cooked dal, rice, and vegetable mixture. Add the mineral salt and chopped fresh cilantro and serve.

I really love mung beans both sprouts and bean paste, however where I live it is hard to find either of them and usually, they are way overpriced if you do find them. So I learned how to make my own paste and when I found this product I was skeptical at first but I thought I'd just give it a try. when I got them I immediately tried making the paste for filling my homemade mochi. I did every step correctly and the end result was astounding! I recommend using a sieve after mashing them up in a food processor if you want the smoothest texture but I know some like them chunky. The taste is amazing! Just like what I grew up with. I was also really surprised by how clean these beans are! You barely have to wash them before soaking because the water only comes out a little cloudy and then becomes clear after just 2 rinses. I really recommend this product if you want to make your own mung bean paste.

I used the mung bean to make muungo filling (mung beans, condensed milk, sugar, flour) for a Filipino pastry called hopia. The photo includes the one made with mung bean to the right and ube (purple yam) on the left. The mung bean was perfect and I liked how it was organic.
