Split Skinless Green Gram (Moong Dal)मूंग दाल (Moong Dal)
Properties
Split Skinless Green Gram (Vigna radiata), universally known as Yellow Moong Dal in India, is created by removing the green husk of the whole mung bean and splitting it. The result is a fast-cooking, mild, and incredibly easily digestible yellow lentil. It is often the first solid food given to babies in India and is the primary ingredient in Khichdi—a healing, comforting porridge made with rice and light spices.
