Mung Bean/Moong Daal Dosai-Crepe

Mung (moong) beans are small, cylindrical beans with a bright green skin. In ayurvedic cooking, they are

used whole or, more commonly, split and hulled. Split and hulled mung beans are small and yellow and

called mung (moong) dhal. You can find Mung Bean in the Asian Indian Store or in International food

section in your grocery store. Mung beans offer 14 gms of protein per cooked cup and a good source

of dietary fiber. They also contain thiamin, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and

copper, and are a good source of folate.

This is a very easy to prepare and very nutritious breakfast dish. Good for vegetarians looking for a high

protein food, growing children, pregnant women and people looking for low glycemic diet.
