Why we love this recipe
When you're looking for an easy to digest meal that quickly transforms into nourishing energy, try this simple mung bean dahl soup. This meal is great on days when your digestion is a bit sluggish, feels delicate, or when your energy is low. Drinking this dahl like a soup will infuse more fire, air and ether into your diet, thus reducing Kapha.
This classic mung dahl tastes wonderful! It's made from split mung beans, which can be found at many natural, whole food grocers and most Asian markets. Split mung beans are balancing to all three doshas, the most easily digestible legumes available, and they cook quickly. Easy to make and easy to digest: win, win!
