  2. Hi Alka,

    You are right. It is usual to use green whole mung dal in place of rajma in traditional recipes.

    But going by the spirit of the recipe, it is Tri Dali Dal or Three lentil curry. So, you can have a mix of any three lentils, though as you pointed out, chana dal, mung dal and urad dal are most commonly used.
