Split Mung Beans Curry from Sri Lanka

This is another curry recipe from Sri Lanka and it is loaded with protein.A protein packed vegetarian recipe is always a favourite for vegetarians and those who admire vegetarian dishes. So, if you look for protein dishes witch are vegetarian, then try this split mung beans curry which is from Sri Lankan Cuisine.

Anyway, these days I find some free time to read articles as my child started his preschool. I can’t believe he is a preschooler now. He grows so fast. The good thing is that I may find time to update the site with new recipes. Hopefully! 🙂

Do you know interesting things I found while reading? I was curious about meal replacement shakes and I wanted to read more details on how any person can replace their meal with just a shake! That sounds really interesting, right?

It is interesting to know that there are Nutritional Shake Mixes which are meal replacement shakes. Interestingly these meal replacement shakes help weight loss while keeping you with increased energy!
