    The dishes in this book taste so good that it is difficult to believe that they have anything whatsoever to do with science.

    But on their way from South Asia, the recipes on these pages made a detour into the nutrition lab at the Asian VegetableResearch and Development Center and the purposeful consideration of Dr. M. Amirthaveni Subramanian, fromAvinashilingam Deemed University, Coimbatore, India.

    The goal was to get more nutrition, particularly iron, out of an already outstanding food: mungbean. Work at AVRDC hadrevealed that just cooking vegetables increases available iron, and that cooking certain vegetables together can increase ironbioavailability further still. The challenge was to develop recipes that combined the right ingredients and method ofpreparation, and were acceptable to Indian families. The recipes had to make use of readily available ingredients, could notbe costly, should be easy to prepare, and had to taste great. Such recipes would surely hold value in a country sufferingchronic and debilitating iron deficiency.

    Each recipe in this book was tested for iron bioavailability using a method that carefully simulates human digestion.Developed by a team of United States scientists and modified somewhat by AVRDC, the method is a practical alternative tomore costly and time-consuming human subject studies.

    This is not an end, however, but more of a beginning. Plans are already set for village-level studies to confirm thenutritional value and acceptability of these recipes. As such, this first edition of High-iron Mungbean Recipes From South Asiais being assigned only a limited press run. It is hoped that future editions will be translated, modified, and refined to accountfor regional differences.

    Lastly, it must be mentioned that this book is the product of ongoing collaboration. To assign proportional credit mightprove impossible - an indication of the fruitful synergy enjoyed by the partners - but credit can go to OMNI Research and theUnited States Agency for International Development (USAID) for funding the nutritional research that underpins these recipes,and to USAID for funding this publication and the planned village-level studies, and to the Department for InternationalDevelopment, U.K., and the Asian Development Bank for funding the South Asian Vegetable Research Network.

    Mungbean is commonly sold in three forms: whole mungbean, split dehulled mungbean called dhal, andsplit dehulled mungbean sold with the hull. The recipes in this book make use of two of these types, plus mungbeanflour. When you read mungbean listed as an ingredient, the recipe calls for whole mungbean. When you readmungbean dhal, the recipe calls for split dehulled mungbean with the hulls removed. Several of the recipes call forpressure cooking mungbean or mungbean dhal. When this initial cooking is complete, other ingredients aresometimes added to the same pot and the mix is cooked altogether. Note that pressure is used only for the initialcooking and that subsequent cooking with the combined ingredients does not require pressure unless otherwiseindicated. You will also notice that metric measures are used, but that teaspoon and tablespoon conversions aresupplied in parentheses for convenience. If you wish to convert grams to ounces, youll find a simple conversion
