About Moong usal

Moong Usal is a nutritious and flavorful dish rooted in Indian cuisine, particularly popular in the western regions like Maharashtra. It is made primarily from sprouted green gram (moong), which is lightly sautéed with aromatic spices such as cumin, turmeric, and mustard seeds. Freshly grated coconut, curry leaves, and a dash of lime often enhance its taste and texture. Rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential vitamins, Moong Usal is a wholesome choice for those seeking balanced nutrition. The sprouting process boosts the bioavailability of its nutrients, such as vitamin C and B-complex vitamins, while its low-fat profile makes it heart-healthy. While traditionally served as a side dish or snack, it can also be paired with chapatis or rice for a complete meal. Some variations may include oil-heavy preparations, so moderation is key for maintaining health benefits.
