Heera Moong Whole 500g
£1.19
Prices checked
Moong whole is best known for classic moong dal, a everyday staple in Indian kitchens. This pack contains whole green gram, small oval beans with their skin intact, sold in a 500g bag from Heera. Whole moong beans hold their shape well during cooking, making them suited to simmered dals, hearty khichdi and warming soups. Many home cooks also soak and sprout the beans, using them raw or lightly cooked in salads and stir-fries for extra bite and colour. Whole moong works equally well in spiced vegetable curries, added alongside potatoes or spinach for a filling midweek meal. To prepare, rinse the beans thoroughly, then soak for several hours or overnight to shorten the cooking time. Drain before adding to a pan with fresh water, then simmer until tender, skimming any foam that rises to the surface. For sprouting, keep the soaked beans in a damp cloth or sprouting jar for a day or two, rinsing occasionally, until small shoots appear. Store the beans in a cool, dry cupboard, kept in a sealed, airtight container away from moisture to keep them in good condition. Once cooked, leftovers can be cooled quickly and kept in the fridge for use in dals, soups or salads over the following days.
