Omega Moong Dal: split yellow mung dal for dal tadka, khichdi and cheela. Single 1 kg pack.
Moong dal is the split, skinned mung bean, small and pale yellow, and it is one of the quickest and easiest dals to cook. The mung bean, or green gram, is grown mainly in East, Southeast and South Asia and used in savoury and sweet dishes. Moong dal cooks to a soft, creamy texture in about 20 minutes without soaking, making it ideal for everyday dal tadka, khichdi with rice, soups and moong dal halwa. Soaked and ground, it makes cheela pancakes. Store the dal in an airtight jar in a dry place, as split pulses can attract moisture. Many families cook moong dal for children, older relatives and anyone wanting a light, comforting meal. Finish it with ghee, cumin, garlic and dried chilli for a fragrant tadka.
