What Is The Difference Between Moong Dal And Moong Dal Soup
I don’t know how exactly to explain the difference between a dal soup and a dal to you. But I think two things are clearly different between dal and a dal soup.
A dal is thicker and can be scooped up with naan or chappati for example. In contrast, a dal soup is to be sipped out of a mug.A dal is usually left with the individual lentils mushy, but still somewhat intact. A dal soup is usually blended into a smoother mixture.
But really it’s just a nomenclature issue because they are both equally delicious. Why chose? Make both!
Do I Have To Soak Moong Dal?
One of the perks in choosing this type of lentil is how small it is and how quickly it cooks. Some types of beans and lentils require you to soak them beforehand so they cook quicker. However, there is no need to soak moong dal before you prepare this recipe.
Is Moong Dal Healthy?
Moong dal is full of essential nutrients such as vitamins A, B, C, AND E. It is incredibly high in protein and high in fiber while being low in fat. This makes it a very healthy and well-rounded dish.
