Yellow Moong Dal can be cooked within minutes and is one of the easiest to cook as well. Avoid soaking Yellow Moong Dal, as it will turn mushy after cooking. The amount of water added to the dal depends on how thick or watery you want the dal to be. On average, add 3 cups of water while cooking 1 cup of dal. Keep the flame high and let one whistle come, then switch the flame to low and let one more whistle come. That’s it, your dal is now ready to be served.
