Ahhh….Munggo and Alugbatti or Okra or Upo Ginisang …specially with de-husked split moong dal…we also mix moong dal with red lentils dal….”Dal” or “Daal” is simply de-hulled and split beans or lentils while “Sabut” means whole. We also use Moong Dal with tender Fenugreek or Methi leaves, the best Methi is the two leaf cress. Bean Sprouts 1/2 a centimetre long, satueed with Onions, pureed fresh tomatoes, Ginger, Green Chilly, and a pinch of Asafoetida and a pinch of Turmeric is a delightful side dish. Truly the poor man’s best Veg Protiens.

emsy, it is already hard, but less dehydrated I would guess than “grocery” munggo. :)

At the risk of embarrassing myself, I’d like to ask if “fresh” munggo is already hard? Or is it softer than the ones sold in the groceries?

Many Pinoy’s especially those who grew up in Manila & neighboring towns doesn’t know that the young bean pods is cooked as gulay just like string beans with whatever sahog you like, fish, shrimps or meat. It goes well with bunga ng malunggay. I just had it last month after maybe 10 years and nothing compares to it. It completed my holiday, yummy…
Maybe, you should try this Marketman :). And yes, winnowing the husks away is a piece of cake to me, though I haven’t tried it for a long, long time..

Same with us: munggo-fried fish combo was served during all the Fridays of Lent. Abstinence food.
