I don't have and I doubt if I ever will have a pressure cooker and I
sometimes want lunch in a hurry when 20 minutes is a long time! I do
make Indian Dahl, Rasams and Sambars when I have plently of time. You
don't need to convince me that that they are better than my little
modification of Campbell's :-) Mung beans can be used in dahls etc. and
sprout well.
