Whole green moong dal is a very nutritious and fibrous dal. Green moong dal can cooked in a pressure cooker or on open flame. Whole moong dal as well as moong lentils are my preferred choice of legumes, to make dals or khichhdi as they are easy to digest and nutritious. The taste of this whole moong dal is very good and really goes well with chapati or steamed rice.
