Try this quick chaat and improvise with your favourite veggies. Instead of tofu, you can opt for cottage cheese or even boiled eggs.

protein drinks are not the only options for happy breakfasts; the inexpensive
moong dal may also be used to quickly and delectably prepare a meal. Quick
meals provide a lot of convenience when you have to adhere to a millet protocol
and limit your millet intake. With today's meal, you can create a tray full of
flavour and nutrients in five minutes or less.

mso-themecolor:text1;mso-ansi-language:EN">Try this fast chaat if you've been
intending to add additional protein. This straightforward breakfast goes well
with hot buttermilk (masala chaach), or occasionally with my morning green
juice. You can prepare a lavish lunch if you start your day with something as
straightforward as this.

1. Soak one cup of whole moong
(green gram) overnight. The next morning, properly wash it and boil it in
twice as much water with the right amount of salt and turmeric.

mso-themecolor:text1;mso-ansi-language:EN">2. You can pressure-cook for one to
two whistles and then let the cooker naturally depressurize. You can also boil
the moong beans in an open pot with a little extra water until they are soft
but not mushy. Extra water can be sieved and saved for soups or curries for lunch.

mso-themecolor:text1;mso-ansi-language:EN">3. After the vegetables have cooled,
add green chili, ginger, and tofu. Additionally, I tried this dish using
Kalari cheese and burrata cheese chunks, and it was equally as delicious.

mso-themecolor:text1;mso-ansi-language:EN">4. Add all of the spices, then fresh
mint leaves, lemon juice, and coriander.

mso-themecolor:text1;mso-ansi-language:EN">5. Serve fresh with sattu or spicy
buttermilk. Additionally, you might serve it alongside a bowl of fruit or your
morning drink.

content of moong beans may have numerous health advantages. They could prevent
heat stroke, support digestive health, encourage weight loss, and reduce levels
of "bad" LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar.

source of carbs, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and vital fatty acids as well as
high-quality proteins with a high rate of dig
