My Notes-
  1. I have used yellow moong daal but you can also make this with green moong daal, masoor daal or tuvar daal but avoid using urad daal or chana daal if you are making this for kids or patients as these two daal's are quite heavy and not so easy to digest.
  2. Can add any vegetable of your choice like chopped potato,cauliflower,corn ,squash, bottle gourd,spinach etc.
  3. I have used 1/2 cup of each vegetable but you can increase the amount of vegetable if you wish.
  4. If you want to make it little watery then add 3 cups or 3.5 cups of water at step-7
