Mung beans are one of the best plant-based sources of protein. They’re rich in essential amino acids, antioxidants, and nutrients that may help reduce blood pressure, LDL cholesterol levels, and heart disease risk.

Mung beans are incredibly versatile and typically eaten in salads, soups and stir-frys.

I have prepared an innovative and amazing recipe which is easy to cook, delicious to eat and has lots of health benefits too. I have used local harvested green mung beans along with soya chunks, veggies and spices. The recipe goes well with roti, poori, paratha and steamed rice.
