Cook Mung Beans in water till tender. Use a pressure cooker for this though stove top also works.
Mash the beans though. Once cooked in the cooker it reaches the mashed consistency by itself.
Chop onions and crush garlic. Chop the bell peppers into bite size pieces. Slit the chillies.
Heat ghee in a pan.Add chopped onions and crushed garlic and saute till transparent.Add puree into this and let it cook for a few minutes .
Then add the cooked beans,slit chillies,salt and chopped peppers.
Add water as needed to make the gravy and cook for about 15 minutes more till the required thickness is reached.Upon cooling the stew thickens so cook considering this aspect.
Serve warm with rice/bread or as a hearty soup.
