Mung dal org.

Ayurveda recommends that one should eat pulses regularly, as they are rich in protein and very nutritious. Supply of vegetable protein is especially important if one is following a vegetarian diet. Yellow mung beans are the most highly regarded by Ayurveda, as they are easier to digest than other pulses and therefore have less of a tendency to produce an imbalance in Vata dosha. Mung beans are traditionally prepared in the form of a semi-liquid, well-spiced gruel: the typical Indian/Ayurvedic dal. For this the mung beans should be cooked long enough for them to start to disintegrate.
