    Nice, nice. Do you think soaking the moong dal would help?

      Hey Aruna, no need at all. It cooks so quick, that soaking isn’t required.

    This is very new to me – won’t the dal get mushy while getting cooked?

      No it doesn’t. And again it has to be cooked by adding water little by little, making sure you don’t over cook it.
