Instructions
  1. Add mung beans, stock, curry powder, salt, onion, and garlic to the Instant Pot inner pot.
  2. Secure lid in place, turn the valve to sealing. Press Manual and adjust the time to the required time to cook mungbeans (about 25 minutes in the Instant Pot typically).
  3. When time is up, allow for natural pressure release for 10 minutes. Quick release the remaining pressure after 10 minutes.
  4. With a fork, smash about 1/4 to 1/3 of the beans and stir to thicken the sauce.
  5. Stir in spinach and allow to cook in the residual heat. Enjoy!

    I made this because I am always looking for mung bean recipes… I ended up a tsp. short of curry, and subbed kale for spinach. So easy and very nutrient dense!

    It was super easy and very delicious. Ingredient list needs to be edited to include the spinach that goes in at the end. It is one cup of fresh spinach, by the way.

    Very delicious recipe. It’s become a go to for me. I put in about 50% more curry as I prefer a bit more spice

    only cooked mung bean 12 minutes and they were very mushy – next time decreasing them to 8 🙂 in pressure cooking

    Easy and delish. Cooked x 14 min on high. Pressure. Used half the salt. Would use less next time. Didn’t measure the spinach. 2 bih handfuls baby spinach. Maybe 1 1/2 c+. Serve over brown rice. Yummy

    I doubled this recipe except for the curry powder and cooked it for 10 minutes high pressure, NPR, serving it over brown rice. Will make again!

    Even my boyfriend loved it! First time using mung beans. They ended up a bit mushy, but it was delicious. Didn’t have fresh spinach so threw in frozen kale and spinach mix. Delish.

    Easy to make and delicious… Even my boyfriend loved it! I easily doubled the recipe. There were no leftovers! First time using Mung beans- they came out a tad mushier than expected for some reason, but were delish! Maybe will try a bit less time next time.
