Why this oneRead the full story
The skin stays on
Chilka means the husk. This is split green moong with its green skin still attached — not the polished yellow dal that has had it removed.
That skin is most of the reason to buy it. It carries the majority of the dal's fibre, and it holds the split together during cooking so you get distinct, separate grains instead of a collapsed paste.
If you have only cooked with washed yellow moong, the difference in the pot is immediate.
Unpolished
Polishing is a cosmetic finish. Dal is buffed — often with water, oil, or in the worst cases talc or leather — to produce a uniform glossy grain that looks better in a shop bin.
It removes the outer layer, and with it fibre, some B vitamins and minerals. It is done because shiny dal sells and dull dal does not.
This is unpolished, so it looks like what it is: matte, slightly irregular, green-flecked.
What it carries
Around 24g protein per 100g and roughly 16g fibre — one of the better protein-to-cost ratios in the Indian pantry. Moong is also the most easily digested of the common dals, which is why it is what people are fed when they are recovering from illness.
The skin adds fibre without adding much cooking time, unlike whole moong.
Cooking it
Rinse until the water runs clear. No long soak needed — twenty to thirty minutes is plenty, and it will cook without any.
Pressure cooker: three to four whistles. Open pot: twenty-five to thirty minutes. It holds shape well, so it works for a khichdi where you want texture, for a dry sabzi-style dal, and for chilla batter.
Salt at the end. Salting early toughens the skin.
Organic, 1kg
Certified organic field, no synthetic pesticide or fertiliser input, and lab-tested for residue like everything else we sell.
Keeping it
Airtight, cool, dark. A year comfortably. In humid months a couple of dried neem leaves or a bay leaf in the container is the traditional deterrent for weevils, and it works.

How does Organic Moong Dal Chilka fit the ICMR-NIN dietary guidelines?
ICMR-NIN's Dietary Guidelines for Indians ask people to eat plenty of legumes, because they are good sources of protein, fibre and folic acid (Guideline 6). Guideline 1 also recommends combining whole grains of cereals, pulses and millets, which is what dal with rice or roti does.
Moong dal chilka is split green gram with its skin left on, and the skin carries much of the fibre. The pack is unpolished, so the outer layer that polishing removes is still there. One 1000 g pack cooks into many family meals; at 50 g of dry dal per person per meal it is about 20 servings.
The booklet sets no single gram target for pulses on its own, so treat the 50 g serving as a kitchen measure rather than a dietary rule.
How much does Organic Moong Dal Chilka cost per 100 g, delivered?
Organic Moong Dal Chilka costs ₹289 for 1000 g, or ₹28.90 per 100 g at the price on this page. That is ₹110 (28%) below the ₹399 MRP. Delivery is free once the goods in your order reach ₹2,000, which takes 7 packs of this size.
| Delivery zone | Charge for one 1000 g pack |
|---|---|
| Zone A: within the 461 postal district (Narmadapuram) | ₹45 |
| Zone B: elsewhere in Madhya Pradesh | ₹52 |
| Zone D: most of India, for example Delhi | ₹71 |
| Zone E: the North-East, Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Kerala and Andaman | ₹92 |
Below ₹2,000, one 1000 g pack is charged by delivery zone, measured from our dispatch pincode 461001. Each figure in the table includes 18% GST and is the prepaid price.
Cash on delivery adds 1.8% of the order value, with a ₹30 minimum before GST. One pack delivered prepaid to Delhi therefore costs ₹360 in total, or ₹36 per 100 g.
How long does Organic Moong Dal Chilka keep, and how should you store it?
Store Organic Moong Dal Chilka sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, refrigerated after opening in humid months. NutriBlend seals each 1000 g pack the day it is packed and dispatches it within 24 hours, so storage time starts close to the day it reaches you. Once opened, close it tightly after every use.
Heat, light, air and humidity are what shorten shelf life. Keep the pack closed between uses, away from the stove, and use a dry spoon. If anything smells sharp, bitter or like paint, it has oxidised and should not be eaten, whatever the date on the pack says.
At 30 g a day, one 1000 g pack lasts about 33 days. Write the opening date on the pack, and if you cook in larger amounts, buy the size you will finish rather than the one that looks cheaper per gram.
