Mung Beans & Chutney

Mung Beans are high in protein, fiber, antioxidants and low in fat, sodium, cholesterol and calories. They are easy to digest, reduce inflammation and contain oligosaccharides to prevent gas and bloating unlike other beans and they also give you energy! 

I personally love its taste with our homemade chutney. The chutney is spicy, so if you don't like spicy food maybe you can use less chili or even take the seeds out

For the beans (1/4 cup) i usually leave it in cold water for a few minutes before adding it to a pot of boiling water (1 cup) and a bit of salt (a few pinches). After adding it, let it boil again and lower the heat to a simmer and close the lid. leave it for around 30 minutes and it should be done. 

The chutney is super easy to make and requires only three ingredients! Green chili (2), coriander (6) and tamarind (a cube)!
Put the tamarind in boiling water for 10 minutes then mash it and strain it. Add it to the food processor with the chili and the chopped coriander. Blend and add water to reach the consistency that you like.


Pour the Chutney over the Mung Beans and Devour!
