Moong Beans With Vegetables Recipe
Green gram (moong) is a super food famous for its health benefits. It helps in weight loss, lowers our blood pressure and is considered to be good for the heart amongst many other things. Boiled vegetables also act as health boosters, although people tend to find them bland. This moong beans with vegetables recipe helps in overcoming this disadvantage by making use of tasty gravy in the form of a green paste. Additionally, it does not require the use of excess oil and cooks really quickly. Usually, the boiled vegetables consist of green veggies. But vegetables like yellow/red bell pepper, cauliflower, corn, or any other vegetable can be added for interesting variations in terms of colour and flavour. Spices can be added according to taste. Grated coconut (nariyal) used in the green paste enhances its texture, while coriander (dhaniya) and green chillies (hari mirch) are responsible for the green colour. Lemon juice (nimboo ka ras) added in the end gives the dish that extra citrusy kick. Garnished with onion and coriander leaves, this recipe makes for a wholesome and appetizing salad.
