Moong Chaat (Green Lentils Salad)

Moong Dal or Green Lentils are very rich in protein and dietary fiber. Therefore, make a powerful protein source for vegans and vegetarians. Due to dietary fiber it helps in digestion and healthy weight loss. Green lentils also contain, vitamin A, B, C, and E. Also, many minerals including iron, calcium, and potassium.

Ingredients

1 cup Whole Moong/Green Lentils (overnight soaked)
1 tsp. Ghee (purified butter) or olive oil

Regular spices:

Turmeric
Red chili powder
Cumin seeds & powder
Pink Salt

Fruits/Veggies:

Mini cucumber 🥒
Mini tomato 🍅
Onions 🧅
Lemon 🍋
Green chili
Fresh coriander

Note: For me, Moong Chaat was a hearty brunch. The recipe makes a perfect snack or light meal for all ages. You may add/skip any fruits or veggies of your choice. Extra lemon 🍋 and chaat masala gives an absolutely HEALTHY CHAAT experience. Yes! Sometimes I add fresh paneer pieces and/or crispy gram-flour bhujia on top of it. Again, mint & pomegranate arils make it super festive 👌
