Shop Moong Yellow Dal Online

Mung beans that have been skinned and split, so what is left is a uniform pale yellow with no green. It is the most processed of the three forms moong is sold in, and the quickest to cook because there is no skin to soften.

How much of the bean is left. Whole green moong — sabut moong — is the unsplit bean with its skin on, needs hours of soaking, and is the one that gets sprouted. Chilka moong is split but keeps the green skin, so the halves look yellow with green flecks and hold a little texture. Yellow moong, or dhuli moong, is skinned and split, and cooks fastest of all. They are not interchangeable on the same timing.

No. There is no skin to soften and the halves are already split, so soaking is unnecessary and mostly just makes it collapse sooner than you want. Rinse it in two or three changes of water and cook it.

About two whistles in a pressure cooker, or fifteen to twenty minutes in an open pan. It is the fastest of the common dals, and it moves from done to disintegrated quickly — check it early rather than trusting a timer.

For flavour. A few minutes in a dry pan over a medium heat, stirring until it smells nutty and darkens a shade, gives a plain dal or a khichdi a depth it does not otherwise have. It is the standard first step for khichdi and it takes three minutes.

One part yellow moong to one or two parts rice by volume is the usual range — more dal for something softer and looser, more rice for something closer to a pilaf. Then about four to five parts water to one part of the combined rice and dal, for a khichdi you can eat with a spoon.

In some dishes, but they behave differently. Yellow moong is quicker, softer and milder, and it breaks down into something smoother. Toor takes longer, tastes fuller and is what sambar and a classic dal tadka are built on. Our guide to toor dal covers that one.

Around 15, taking roughly 55g of dry dal per person alongside rice. Fewer if the dal is the centre of the meal.
