Split Green Gram for Textured Dal Fry and Fragrant Mixed Dal

TRS Moong Dal Chilka 1kg, labelled Mung Dal Chilka on the pack, is split mung beans with their green skins retained. Also known as split green gram, moong or mung dal chilka has pale centres framed by green skin and a mild, earthy flavour. This is the split, skin-on form, rather than whole green mung beans or the skinned yellow variety sold as washed moong dal. The 1kg pack is a useful cupboard staple for preparing different pulse dishes through the week.

Why Choose TRS Moong Dal Chilka 1kg?

Choose this dal for dishes where you want a rustic appearance and a textured finish. During cooking, the split centres soften and help thicken the liquid while the green skins remain visible. It pairs naturally with ginger, garlic, onion and tomato, and makes a gentle base for cumin, coriander or a sizzling spice tadka.

Cook it into a thicker dal fry to scoop up with chapati, or add more liquid for a looser dal to spoon over rice. It also works in mixed dal preparations: account for the different cooking times of each pulse so everything becomes tender together. Rinse and check the dal before cooking, follow the preparation guidance on the current pack, and simmer until it reaches your preferred tenderness. Use this split form in cooked recipes rather than as a replacement for whole mung beans intended for sprouting.

Serving Suggestions

  • Prepare dal fry with onion, tomato, ginger and garlic, then finish with toasted cumin and a little chilli to taste.
  • Combine with rice and turmeric for khichdi, adding vegetables and adjusting the liquid for a soft or thicker finish.
  • Use alongside toor or chana dal in a mixed dal, allowing sufficient cooking time for each pulse.
  • Simmer with spinach or other leafy greens and serve with rice, chapati or paratha.
  • Add to vegetable soups with cumin and coriander for a gently earthy flavour and a thicker broth.
