Weather and temperature changes trigger my sinus and makes me feel really sick. I have to deal with brain fog and it&#8217;s the worst feeling ever. When I get the sinus attack, I lose interest in literally everything. Steam inhaling, antihistamine medication and nasal spray are my companions on those days.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m reminded of this quote: &#8220;Everybody is fighting some kind of battle that we are not aware of, so let&#8217;s be kind to each other.&#8221;- I couldn&#8217;t agree more.<\/p>\n<p>Back to this recipe- this is one of my favorite vegetarian dishes that I make at least biweekly. It&#8217;s a healthy protein rich and fiber rich dish. It can be served with rice, rotis etc.<\/p>\n<p>I made this in the Instant Pot and all I had to do was throw all the ingredients into the pot, set to pressure cooking and just walk away. After mung bean has cooked well, added beaten yogurt.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of yogurt, you could add coconut milk to make it creamy. Or just add water to thin down the gravy. You can tweak the recipe according to your needs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24934\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Mung-bean-in-yogurt-curry-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Mung-bean-in-yogurt-curry-1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Mung-bean-in-yogurt-curry-1-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Mung-bean-in-yogurt-curry-1-475x200.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Instant Pot Mung bean in Yogurt gravy<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Curry<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT35M\">35 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT1H5M\">1 hour 5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mung bean or Moong bean- 2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Dried bay leaves- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cumin seeds- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Onion, chopped- 1<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Tomatoes, chopped- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/8 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chili powder- 1 1\/2 tsp (based on your spice level)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cumin powder- 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coriander powder- 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 3 cups + 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Beaten Yogurt- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cilantro, chopped- 1\/4 cup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Soak the mung beans in 3 cups water for 30 minutes.
