We eat it at least once a week. While it may look unfamiliar to you, I know you know where it comes from. In its whole form (with the skin), it is the green Moong Bean - commonly found in most grocery stores. We make that as well, but this version, which is split without the skin is favored for its light texture and quick cooking.
Try it in your Instant Pot - I perfected it for you by adding an extra cup of water and a little more garam masala. Or check out our Stovetop version!
Because this form is less common in mainstream grocers, we sell it as part of our legume line. Look for it at these retailers and on our website.

I made this dal for the first time yesterday, and can see why you stated that you make it weekly. It’s a warm, comforting, and satiating meal.
Because I was making it for the first time, carefully following the instructions step-by-step, I almost missed adding the coriander. I’ve reread the instructions multiple times but it appears to have been accidentally omitted from them. No biggie. Just an FYI.
Thank you for the lovely recipe. I found it to be easy, quick, inexpensive, delicious, satisfying, and will most certainly be making it again in the near future.

Oops … looks like cilantro is in the last line of the instructions. It’s a garnish.

Thanks Anupy! Just to clarify, I added the cilantro garnish, but was referring to the 1 tsp of ground coriander listed in the ingredients.
