Moong Dal (Pesara Pappu)

Mung bean (Hindi: मूँग), also known as green bean, mung, mongo, moong, moog (whole) / moog dal (split) (in Bengali , Marathi), mash bean, munggo or monggo, green gram, golden gram, and green soy, is the seed of Vigna radiata which is native to Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. The split bean is known as moong dal,Pesara [పెసర] (Telugu), which is green with the husk, and yellow when dehusked. The beans are small, ovoid in shape, and green in color. The English word "mung" derives from the Hindi moong.So friends,Today for my 8th Thursday Sai Baba Vrat ,I did this Moong Variety as Prasadam and here goes the preparing process.
