Retail – HEERA MOONG DAL WASHED – 500gm

Description

Heera Moong Dal Washed 500g, a quick cooking split pulse for light dals.

Washed moong dal is the yellow split mung bean with its green skin removed, which is why it cooks quickly and turns soft and smooth. This 500g bag is a single retail pack, a handy amount for everyday dals, soups and khichdi. It has a mild, gentle flavour that takes on spices well.

Key Features

• Split and skinned yellow moong that cooks quickly
• Soft, smooth texture ideal for light dals and khichdi
• Natural source of plant protein and fibre (verify figures on pack)
• 500g single retail pack for everyday home cooking
• Mild flavour that carries spices and tempering nicely

Cooking and Uses: Rinse until the water runs clearer, then simmer with two to three parts water until soft, usually in around twenty to thirty minutes. Season with turmeric, salt and a cumin or garlic tarka. It makes a light dal on its own, a base for khichdi with rice, or a thickener for soups. Stir now and then so it does not stick.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, keep in an airtight container and use within a reasonable time for the best texture.
