What is Moong Dal Chaat?

A famous chaat from the city of Haridwar. Popular street food and a delicious salad or chaat or snack. You may serve as you like with little variations. A perfect combo of protein-rich lentils and rich spices along with sauces adding to its flavors. One of the most significant benefits of moong dal is its role in facilitating weight loss. Moong lentil is packed with fiber and plant-based protein, which are known to help reduce weight. Macrobiotic Nutritionist and Health Practitioner Shilpa Arora, says, “Moong Dal is extremely light and high on protein.

Variations with Moong Dal / Yellow Lentil ?

Serve as a Salad: Just add chopped tomatoes, onions, coriander leaves, spices, lemon juice, and a bit of oil. Mix well and serve it as a salad.

Serve as Chaat: Mix the moong dal with chopped onions, ginger, spices, lemon juice, and sauces and garnish with coriander leaves. A perfectly sweet, tangy, sour, and spicy flavor to please your palate.
