You know, in Hindi (the most widely spoken language in India) piyaz means onion! I also make an Indian version of this salad with some fresh cilantro and some chaat masala. Must try your version, the olives, egg and red wine vinegar will give it a richer taste!

So, I tried making these. I boiled the lentils for 10 minutes the first time and drained (at this point the were perfect, but I thought I’d follow the boiling instructions). So, I drained the first boil, and set the lentils aside (which were still cooking, because I didn’t stop the reaction by rinsing with cool water yet).

The second boil sadly opened up many of the lentils. I think 10 minute boil in a very large pot is enough, if you like your lentils ‘whole’.

Tasty though. Next time I’ll boil them less.

mm… never thought of using mung beans for salad, something new for me to try . As a chinese, I recall mung beans are usually used for dessert or appetizer. I really enjoy reading through your blog. Great site!

Hmm, that’s a good idea, I have some mung beans at home, I brought it from Uzbekistan( where originally I am from) I thought in Turkey they dont sell/eat mung beans.Thank you for the idea, I will make it.
In Uzbekistan we used to make a mung bean soup Moshho’rda and Moshkichiri kind of risotto (mung bean with rice).
