Fudco Moong Dal Chilka 1.5kg is split green gram with its skin retained, bringing pale mung bean centres and green skins together in a versatile cooking pulse. Also called mung dal chilka or skin-on split mung beans, it is distinct from whole green mung and from washed yellow moong dal. Its mild, earthy taste and rustic texture work well in everyday dal, mixed-pulse dishes and soft rice-based khichdi. The 1.5kg pack suits households that cook with dal regularly.
The split form softens during simmering, helping to thicken the cooking liquid while the skins give the finished dish visible texture. Choose it when you want a dal with more rustic character than the smooth finish associated with skinned yellow moong. It provides a gentle base for aromatic ginger, garlic and cumin, or for a richer onion-and-tomato masala.
Vary the finish to suit the meal: simmer with less liquid for a thick dal to serve with chapati, or add water for a looser consistency to pour over rice. For khichdi, cook with rice and your chosen vegetables until the texture is soft. Rinse and check the dal before cooking, follow the current pack's preparation instructions, and cook until tender. When combining different pulses, adjust the method to allow for their different cooking times. This split form is for cooked dishes rather than whole-bean sprouting recipes.
