Split Green Moong Dal | Hari Moong Ki Dal | Chilke Wali Mung ki Dal

Green Moong ki dal (हरी मूँग की दाल) is a delicious, healthy and easy to make dal that is one of the most commonly used lentil variety. This recipe is a traditional and popular Indian dal recipe made with green lentil and tempered with heeng jeera. Green moong dal is one of the most widely available lentils and used in many ways like khichadi, dahi vada and cheela. It is a simple and easy to cook dal. Here is no need to add onion and tomatoes but if you like you can add. It requires basic ingredients.

Moong dal is found in three forms as whole mung, split and skinned yellow dal. I have already shared yellow moong dal and sprouted whole moong. So today I am sharing green split moong dal. It is very healthy and nutritious dal. It is a perfect option for toddlers as this dal helps in digestion and full of protein. It is free from heaviness and flatulence so it is easy to digest. Its green skin has a lot more nutrition than skinned yellow moong dal. Along with proteins, green moong bean is rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and phytonutrients.

To make this dal, moong dal is soaked and pressure cooked along with turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt and coriander powder. The heeng jeera tadka gives great flavour to the dal and tastes great. Soaking lentils and pulses reduces their cooking time.

Serve this hari moong ki dal along with roti, pickles and salad.
