Method
Tip
Moong Dahl or Mung Bean Soup in one of the most cherised foods In Ayurvedic Medicine. It is a power house of goodness which is not only easy to digest but is high in fibre and protein, low in saturated fat, no cholesterol, contains valuable minerals and vitamins such as Iron, Folic Acid, Vitamin C and Zinc to mention a few. It is great for stimulating your metabolism and moving toxins through the body. This recipe is so easy to make in the Thermomix as it continuously stirs my soup and I also steam fresh vegetables whilst it cooks. So, there is really no excuse not to eat well!
Please Note: Asafetida or Hing can be purchased from Asian or Indian Grocery Stores. Hing has been used since ancient times for indigestion and is used routinely in most day to day Indian Cooking. Also - don't be put off by the pungent odour - the smell disappears as soon as it is added to the dish.

When do you put in the curry leaves? And how many cloves? Thanks!
Hi,
This was really yummy. I showed the recipie to a colleague who lent me her Asatifeda for the night. I couldn't see the cloves in the ingredient list, but cloves were mentioned in the body of the instructions. I think i added 3. I must've been close because this tasted awesome.
Thanks for the recipie
