Kashmiri Red Moong Dal 400gm

Red Moong Dal from Kashmir (also called red mung bean dal) is a nutrient-rich, small‑grained lentil variety, notable for its mild sweetness, creamy texture, and the distinct flavor profile that Kashmiri soil and climate impart. It’s traditionally used across Kashmir in dishes that balance bold spices with wholesome softness. 

 Key Features & Ingredients

• Flavor & Texture: Slightly sweet, hearty, and melts into a creamy consistency when cooked — deeper in taste than common yellow or green moong dal. Nutritional Value: Rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, magnesium, and essential micronutrients.

• Purity: Typically unpolished, preserving nutrients and texture, with no added preservatives. 

 Health Benefits

• Supports digestive wellness and reduces constipation thanks to high fiber content. 

• May help manage cholesterol and blood sugar levels due to its low glycemic index and fiber. 

• Aids with weight management by enhancing satiety and providing sustained energy. 

• Excellent source of vegetarian protein, ideal for building and repairing tissues. 

 Cooking & Traditional Uses

In Kashmiri cuisine, Red Moong Dal is often combined with rice in dishes like khetchar, steamed or simmered with spices, ghee, and sometimes local red chili for warming meals. 

For Indian-style dals, simple tadka of cumin seeds, ginger, garlic, turmeric, and tomatoes elevates the flavor beautifully. 

It is also used in lighter breakfasts or snacks like moong dal chilla (savory pancakes), khichdi, or sweet preparations such as moong dal payasam/kheer.
