Stir-fried green mung recipe

• 250 g (8.8oz) green mung beans
• 600 ml (21.1fl oz) water
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 pinch asafetida
• 4 garlic cloves, finely diced
• 1 tbsp ginger, finely diced
• 2 green chillies, cut in half lengthways
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 0.5 fresh lime

1. Begin by washing the green mung beans under cold running water 4-5 times.
2. Leave to soak in the 600ml water for 6-8 hours or overnight.
3. Once soaked, drain the water and thoroughly check through the mung beans for any which have not soaked and absorbed the water.
4. If you prefer to sprout the mung beans, leave for a further 4-6 hours.
5. In a saucepan, heat the cumin seeds in oil and add the asafetida.
6. Now add the ginger and garlic pieces as well as the long chillis.
7. Stir this for a minute, and then add the mung beans, turmeric and sea salt.
8. Cook over a low heat for 15 minutes and then squeeze the fresh lime over the dish before serving.
