Servings: persons

1/2 cup moong beans
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 medium clove garlic, diced
1 Thai chile pepper, diced into thick rounds
1/2 teaspoon red chile powder (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
Salt, to taste
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon lime juice
Tomato, red onion, and cilantro, for garnish

1
Soak moong beans in 2 cups water for at least 12 hours. You may find some beans have not soaked at all. If that's the case, change the water and soak for another 4 to 5 hours. This is important as you don't want dry, un-soaked beans to be a part of this dish. Drain the beans and discard the water.
2
Heat oil in a pan on medium heat. After 3 to 4 minutes, add mustard and cumin seeds.
3
Once the seeds stop popping, add garlic, chile pepper, red chile powder, and turmeric. Stir once and add beans right away. Otherwise the red chile powder and turmeric may burn.
4
Add 1/4 cup water, salt, sugar and lime juice. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. If the beans are too al dente for your taste, cook longer.
5
Turn the heat off and serve warm. Serve with Gujarati bread, rotli. To eat it as a snack, add 1/4 cup diced red onions, 1/8 cup diced red tomatoes to 1 cup of cooked moong beans. Garnish with cilantro.
