Description

Gobhi Mung is a wholesome and satisfying vegetarian stew that combines the earthy richness of yellow split mung beans with the delicate sweetness of cauliflower and potatoes. Slow-cooked until the beans are tender and the vegetables are soft, this dish achieves a comforting, slightly thickened consistency. Aromatic spices like cumin, turmeric, and fresh ginger provide a warm, savory depth, while a finishing tempering of hot ghee and green chilies adds a vibrant, fragrant kick. It is a perfect weeknight meal that is both nourishing and easy to prepare, best served hot over a bed of steamed basmati rice or with warm roti bread.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the yellow split mung beans thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a deep pot, combine the washed mung beans, chopped onions, grated ginger, minced garlic, turmeric, and 3 cups of water.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Add the quartered potatoes, cauliflower florets, salt, and an additional 2 cups of water to the pot.
  5. Cover and continue to cook for another 15 minutes, or until the beans and vegetables are tender and the liquid has reduced slightly.
  6. While the stew simmers, heat the ghee in a small skillet over high heat.
  7. When the ghee is very hot, add the cumin seeds and fry until they turn dark brown and fragrant.
  8. Quickly add the seeded green chilies and red pepper powder, stirring briefly for just 10-15 seconds to release aromas without burning.
  9. Immediately pour the hot ghee mixture (tadka) over the stew in the pot.
  10. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped coriander leaves gently to combine.
  11. Serve hot with plain cooked rice.
