Moong Dal

I made this recipe the other day with mung beans. It has the flavors of India, such as garam masala and cumin. It might not look pretty, but it tasted great. I soaked the mung beans overnight to make them more digestible. I guess mung beans are touted as a great bean because they are easy to digest and contain tons of nutrients.
