It is that time of the year where I fast for Maasi Magam which means I don't drink or eat from dawn to dusk - which leaves me with technically one meal a day, and that meal has to be vegetarian.

I then researched to see what is best for me to consume and I have settled for Mung Beans. Mung beans, can be a nutritious part of a weight loss diet as it provides protein and fiber, the two satiating nutrients that can help control hunger. I've opted to give it a shot and made a big batch to last me for at least 5 days.

Ingredients

2 hour
5 servings
  1. A: 1/2 Mung beans soaked overnight
  2. A: 1 tsp Turmeric powder
  3. A:1 tsp Chilli powder
  4. A:1 tsp Dhal
  5. A:1 tbsp Sambar podi

Cooking Instructions

2 hour
  1. 1

    Bring ingredients in A to boil with two cups of water. I took about 1.5 hour on low flame as i wanted the beans and the dhal to be soft that it's mash-able. If you have a pressure cooker this process will be faster

    Add salt as you deem necessary

  2. 2

    Once the dhal and beans are soft, in a pan heat up ghee and add all the other ingredient in B and fry till fragrant.

  3. 3

    Pour ingredient B into A and bring it to boil. Add salt as you deem necessary and serve with hot rice or naan
