Sabut Moong Daal -Healthy, tangy whole green lentils cooked with fresh herbs and yogurt

Sabut Moong daal is a very healthy lentil.Yellow moong daal, chilka wala moong and whole green moong daal are the three different form of this whole lentil.There are so many different ways to make it and the bean sprouts are most popular sprouts made with whole moong –how to make bean sprouts

Sabut  moong is slightly heavy to digest so I have used methi dana , asafoetida and ginger in it to aid digestion.It need little extra time to cook as compared to yellow moong daal so I prefer to use pressure cooker to cook sabut moong .

I also make a Bhatia special whole Moong daal Recipe – Mag Methi Daal  which is also very light and delicious. I have learned this sabut moong or dahi wali moong recipe from my neighbor and now it become a favourite daal of my family,my son loves this daal and when ever he comes home I often make this for him.

In dried spices only turmeric and salt is used rest all are fresh herbs, so it taste delicious and light to digest.I have also posted a sabut moong daal recipe which is my community special –  khatti methi moong
