Khatti Moong Daal- Delicious tangy whole Green Gram curry cooked with fresh herbs and spices

Khatti moong  daal or sabut moong is a very healthy lentil to consume as it have many nutritional benefits and is easy to digest if cooked properly. It is loaded with protein and Vitamins ,good source of Iron, Magnesium ,potassium, Phosphorous and also have anti oxidant properties.

Moong bean is low in saturated fat and a very good source of fiber. So try to include moong in your diet in some way.

There are many versions or recipes to make with whole moong. I have already posted few versions of making moong daal. In my community we make it little thicker and make it khatta meetha and serve with aloo ,matar mangodi ki kadhi and rice.

Each region and family have their own favorite versions of making daals . This mag methi is a specialty of Bhatia cuisine which I learned after coming to Dubai. This is quite different to the way I normally cook moong but I liked this very much and now this is cooked regularly in my kitchen.

This mag methi goes well with steamed rice and roti ,you can serve a dry stir fry to complete the meal. You can blend it completely and serve as a delicious lentil soup.

    Have ben seeing many of your recipes today and I found most of them very close to the way I cook my everyday food. Definitely the UP connection. But this recipe is very different from the way we cook our sabut mung.Really interesting and a must try for someone like me who keeps looking for new ways to cook my food 🙂
    Your blog has a brilliant collection of recipes.
