Moong Chilka (Split Pulse)

ABH Superfoods: Moong Chilka (Split Green Gram with Skin)

At ABH Superfoods, our philosophy remains absolute: Nothing Added. Nothing Taken Away.

Our Moong Chilka (Split Green Gram with Skin) is the perfect testament to this belief. By carefully splitting the whole green gram without stripping away its natural, nutrient-dense green skin (the chilka), we deliver a pulse that is both quick to cook and rich in essential dietary fiber. Unpolished, untreated, and completely free of artificial bleaches or chemical preservatives, this dal retains its original strength, earthy flavor, and wholesome nutritional profile exactly as nature intended.

The Power of Uncompromised Nutrition

Retaining the skin means retaining the fiber and vital micronutrients that are often lost in over-processed, heavily polished alternatives.

Nutritional Profile (Per 100g serving, raw)

Micronutrient Highlights:

• Folate (Vitamin B9): Crucial for DNA synthesis and optimal cell function.

• Magnesium: Supports muscle health, nerve function, and energy production.

• Iron: Essential for carrying oxygen in the blood and fighting daily fatigue.

• Potassium: Helps regulate fluid balance and maintain a healthy heart.

• Zinc & Copper: Vital trace minerals that strengthen the immune system and promote healthy tissue.

Why Choose ABH Superfoods Moong Chilka?

• The Fiber Advantage: The retained green skin acts as a natural source of roughage, promoting superior gut health and digestion compared to completely skinless (dhuli) dals.

• 100% Pure & Unpolished: We never use water, oil, or stone powder to artificially shine our pulses. You get the raw, unadulterated grain.

• Faster Cooking, Maximum Nutrition: Splitting the pulse reduces cooking time and eliminates the need for overnight soaking, while keeping the structural integrity of the nutrients intact.

How to Use Moong Chilka in Your Diet

Moong Chilka is highly digestible and incredibly versatile, making it a comforting staple for daily meals. A brief soak of 30 to 60 minutes is recommended to yield the best texture and enhance nutrient absorption.

• Classic Comfort Dal: Boil with a pinch of turmeric and salt, then finish with a light tempering (tadka) of cumin, ghee, and garlic. The skin gives the dal a hearty, rustic texture that pairs beautifully with our premium stone-milled wheat rotis.

• Nourishing Khichdi: Combine equal parts of Moong Chilka with unpolished rice or ancient super-grains. Slow-cook with mild spices for a restorative, easy-to-digest one-pot meal that balances complex carbohydrates with plant-based protein.

• Protein-Packed Cheela (Savory Pancakes): Soak the dal for a few hours, grind it into a smooth batter with ginger and green chilies, and pan-fry. A perfect, high-protein breakfast or post-workout meal.

• Thick Soups & Stews: Blend cooked Moong Chilka with seasonal vegetables to create a fiber-rich, naturally thickened soup for cold evenings.
