HEERA Moong Dal Washed Split 500G

 

Moong Dal Washed Split is one of the most popular and easily digestible lentils (dal) used in Indian, Pakistani, and Bengali cooking.1 The "Washed Split" designation refers to its specific processing:

 

  • Split (Dal): The whole Mung bean (also known as Green Gram) has been split into two halves.2

     

  • Washed (Huskless/Skinned): The outer green husk has been completely removed, leaving only the inner, bright yellow kernel.3 This process makes the lentil cook very quickly and ensures a smooth, creamy final consistency.4

     

 

Key Characteristics

 

  • Identity: Split and skinned Mung Beans (Petite Yellow Lentils).5

     

  • Appearance: Small, bright yellow, flat, and round kernels.6

     

  • Flavor Profile: It has a mild, subtle, and slightly sweet/earthy flavour.7 This neutral taste allows it to absorb the flavours of any accompanying spices (turmeric, cumin, ginger, etc.) exceptionally well.8

     

  • Texture: Cooks down quickly to a smooth, creamy, and soft consistency.9

     

  • Digestibility: Moong Dal is considered one of the easiest-to-digest lentils, making it a popular choice for children, the elderly, and those seeking a light, soothing meal.10

Preparation Tip

 

Since this dal is "Washed Split," it requires minimal effort:

  1. Rinsing: Rinse the dal lightly under cold running water to remove any dust.13

     

  2. Soaking (Optional but Recommended): Soaking for 15-30 minutes can further reduce the cooking time, though it cooks quickly even without soaking.

  3. Cooking: It can be cooked on the stovetop or quickly in a pressure cooker until it becomes soft and creamy.14
