Dal, a type of thick lentil stew, is a staple dish in South Asia.

Red or yellow lentils are cooked with onions, garlic, ginger, chilies, tomatoes, and spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric, then simmered in water until lentils are tender and a thick soup-like consistency is achieved.

At this point, they are called "Yellow Mung Beans", "Split Mung Beans" or even more descriptive, "Yellow Split Mung Beans." The darkness of the yellow insides will vary by variety.

The ones sold with skins off are called either peeled, skinless, decorticated or hulled.

They are small, yellow, and are quick cooking like split yellow or split green peas (though I still soak them to make them fully digestible).
