Hi Mrs.chithra,
One thing pls clarify-this dal is not whole moong or moong dal. Will it be flat green & white ? If so, does the dal has any other separate recipes.
If so, pls do post them without any HURRY.

It is " pasiparuppu with green skin" - called kichdi dhal. It is neither whole green moong nor our usual moong dhal, yello variety.
Love & regards,
Chithra.
