Packed with protein and low on carbs, moong dal (also known as green lentils) is one of the most recommended vegetarian superfoods. An integral part of the Indian diet, it is extremely light and easy to digest.
Compared to other dals, moong dal is low on carbs, making it a healthier option. One of the more important benefits of moong dal is its protein content. Excellent for our gut health, and heart health.

Notes
Mung and paneer pancake makes a protein-packed breakfast recipe. It allows to add as many and as much veggies and paneer, as per our preferences. I prefer serving it with chutneys, and tomato ketchup as a snack. Whereas, with a bowl of yogurt or buttermilk as a meal.
