Green Grams , also called Moong beans are high in protein and fiber, making it easier to digest and keeping us full for longer. They are also a good source of vitamins, minerals, potassium and magnesium. They are also high in antioxidants.Whole Green Grams are a good source of folate, which makes them great to eat during pregnancy.
They are also versatile, and can be eaten as a soup, curry or salad. So do incorporate them in your diet.
Growing up Green Grams used to be made almost every week for dinner especially Sundays.We always had the curry with chapati for dinner. Some days we would have rice or ugali.
I love the spices which goes in this curry. That makes this simple dish even more tasty. So hope you all like it and let me know what you think.
