Annam Mung/Moong dal chilka 500gm

Description

Annam Moong Dal Chilka (500g) is split mung beans with the skin intact, offering a mild, slightly nutty flavour and a soft, creamy texture after cooking. Because the husk is retained, the dal holds its shape well in dishes while still cooking relatively quickly. It is a convenient ingredient for everyday cooking and works perfectly in dals, soups, curries, and one-pot meals, easily absorbing the flavours of spices, herbs, and vegetables.

Vitamins & Nutrition:
Moong Dal Chilka is a good source of plant-based protein and dietary fibre. It contains essential vitamins such as B vitamins and vitamin E, along with minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium. The fibre content supports healthy digestion, while the protein helps support muscle health and overall energy levels. Naturally low in fat and easy to digest, it is suitable for balanced, vegetarian, and plant-based diets.

How to Use:
Rinse thoroughly and optionally soak for 30–60 minutes. Cook in fresh water (about 1 part dal to 3 parts water) for 20–30 minutes until soft. Season with salt at the end, then add fried spices or tempering and serve with rice or flatbread. It pairs especially well with cumin, turmeric, ginger, and garlic, and can be cooked with vegetables or stored for later meals.
