Re: Daal Cheat Sheet
lobia and rajma are two different things.
rajma is known as kidney beans in angrezi.
lobia is creamy coloured with a black spot.
moong ki daal is pale yellow in colour and much smaller than arhar...it is oblong in shape.
arhar ki daal is the same colour as chanay ki daal but flatter.
chanay ki daal, when you put the split pieces together, forms more of a ball than arhar does.
masoor ki daal is orange except when it is whole; then the peel is brown.
maash ki dall is off-white in colour and oblong in shape. it is slightly larger than moon ki daal in size.
maash ki daal, still covered in it's peel is a very dark grayish, almost black colour.
it can also be bought in the peel but split -- we used to have khichree made of this daal.
more when I think of it....
