Moong dal, also known as mung dal is a type of split and hulled mung bean, which is small, green, and oval-shaped. Widely used in Indian cuisine, moong dal is a versatile ingredient that can be prepared in various ways. It's often used to make dal, a traditional Indian lentil soup, where it's cooked with spices and sometimes vegetables, providing a hearty and nutritious dish.
Moong dal is also commonly used in other Indian dishes like khichdi (a rice and lentil dish), dosa (a type of savoury pancake), and vada (a type of fritter). It cooks relatively quickly compared to other lentils and has a mild, slightly sweet flavour that pairs well with a wide range of spices and ingredients. Rich in protein, fibre, and essential nutrients like folate and iron, moong dal is not only delicious but also offers numerous health benefits.
