For the Last day under Moong Dal, I m posting a Delicious and Healthy Side-Dish for your Super Fluffy Roti's or you can even have them with Rice. The Wholesome Goodness of Whole Moong Dal is very well know. Lots of Protein, Rich in Fiber and has a very Low-Glycemic Index. 
I normally soak the Moong dal for Overnight, Next day i drain it in the morning and leave it on the stove-top, so by the time i cook them in the Evening, they will have small, cute sprouts all-over. This way you can make it even more healthy!!!!!
