NOTE: Moong dal or Green gram dal is widely used in Indian cuisine as it is very light on stomach and tastes very nice when made into plain dals or vegetable dals.The one I am giving below is very simple to make and tastes yum. The dash oflemon juice gives an added flavour.This dal goes very well with Alu ka paratas.
