Aw, prison food? Then they haven't seen the cafeteria food I endured as a university student! This looks delicious.
Haven't cooked mung bean curry... now it's time!!
moong dal curry looks nice has great colour.
Hi Saju, your mung beans curry looks delicious! I love them, one of my fav. quick-cooking dishes, so I will have to try this your way. Silly question for you -- it is the whole variety? They must cook in a flash when soaked overnight :)
now we finally know that the saudi prisoners are fed on a healthy diet... this looks pretty good to me.
I miss Asha too today. She would be the first one to comment :)The curry looks nice Saju :)

There are so few mung bean recipes on the net, do you have any others you can share please? Thanks again x

There are others where mung bean is not the main ingredient, search for mung and you will find them.
I wanted to make mung today and thought to look up a recipe instead of calling my mom...I started to use one and realized it just wasn't sounding very appetizing, so while my mung was boiling, I started a new google search and was lucky enough to stumble upon your recipe which sounded so similar to my own mother's cooking. I'm happy to say that my meal turned out delicious! =) I added a little curry powder and lime to it but everything else was same. After I was done cooking, I looked at your site again and realized you are Ismaili too! No wonder your recipe was so like my mom's. I've added your blog to my favorites. Thanks so much!!
Mmmmmm... Yummy! Thanks for the recipe.
Olek
yes mung is very nice and healthy no wonder Saudis feed the best to their prisoners; only they can afford it'
Delicious! Now if only I can persuade kids to eat it :)
