moong dal
Yellow Indian legume
Moong dal is split mung beans, a staple legume in South Asian cooking.
The hulled, split form cooks quickly into a soft, mild-flavored dish often seasoned with turmeric, cumin, and ghee.
Dal refers both to the dried legume and the cooked preparation: We had moong dal with rice for dinner.
