Indian Dal

I always thought it was spelled 'dahl' plus until Peggy mentioned being served a mung bean dal I thought by definition it was made from yellow split peas. So I Googled 'mung bean dal' and found this very intriguing recipe I will try soon.....the interplay of flavors sounds so delicious. John
