Turkish mung bean salad, known as "maş piyazı" is a refreshing and crunchy salad made with cooked mung beans, onions, fresh herbs and spices. It's a perfect side dish or light meal for a hot summer day. (Piyaz generally referring to salads made with beans in Turkish cuisine, is adopted from the Persian word, (फ़ारसी – onion) and maş means mung beans in Turkish)
Mung beans are also a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and folate. They have also been linked to numerous health benefits.

  • Soak mung beans overnight..next day drain the water and sprout them by keepimg thm in a warm place...rinse these clean under running water...lightly steam them and then use them in the salad...the advantage here is tht u dont need to throw away any water as u did in boiling...thus no nutrition is lost...secondly when u lightly steam them thy dont cause any indigestion and stomach aches..plus sprouting them increases their nutritional content

    This was astoundingly good. I sprouted the mung beans for several days, removed the green seed covering, and then lightly steamed the beans. I am now subscribed.

    Very interested in Turkish kitchen. Looks yummy and will put it on the menu. Would you be able to tell when certain meals are eaten during the day and also in which season? This would be a great bonus for everyone. ❤

    Just made this salad and it's really good. Couldn't get pomegranate seeds and I once broke a tooth on one (!) so soaked some currants and it worked really well. I imagine some chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) would also be great. Mung beans (they're actually a pea) are full of nutritional goodness.
