  1. Wow this looks so great! My husband is from Sri Lanka and while I’ve tried a few meals including buryani, I’ve never tried mung bean curry. I can’t wait to try this dish, thank you!

  2. What a flavorful recipe for mung beans. Love the creaminess from the coconut milk. Delicious served over white rice.

  3. This was delicious! I needed a recipient for Mung beans without tomatoes and Thai one was perfect. Thank you for sharing!

  4. I made this Mung Bean Curryhete in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and it was greatly enjoyed by all the family. I was asked to please keep the recipe to make again.

  5. Hi Shashi,
    I made this last night and finished the leftovers for lunch today. Enjoyed by all the family – thank you! It’s the first time I’ve added smoked paprika to a curry – a new idea for me.
    Having added all the ingredients but before cooking was finished, I tasted the sauce and thought it was going to end up too sweet for me and too creamy. I added some cumin and also a tin of chopped tomatoes which seemed to do the trick. I guess I added less water to my stock to balance out. Looking to add texture, I added some white cabbage about 15 mins before serving, and finally a can of new potatoes too. I think this outshone the chicken korma I was serving this as a side dish to, and was a very nice meal on its own this lunchtime! I’ll make this again. A lovely change from mung bean recipies that are essentially soups. Thank you!

  6. easy enough to make quickly. I served it with rice and it came out great. I used 1/3 the amount of coconut milk to tone down the richness of it, tasted great.

  7. I’m not terribly keen on mung beans but decided to give this curry a try. I loved it and will certainly cook it again. I did use light coconut cream instead of milk.

  8. The mung bean is one of the most nutritious pulses you can have. I prepare it for lunch boxes and, it goes well with rice or roti.

    Your recipe looks easy and delicious. May I know how significant coconut milk is in this recipe? Because I prepare the mung bean without the coconut milk. Thank you ๐Ÿ™‚
