Split yellow moong dal is cooked and stir fried with this thin long vegetable also known as snake gourd or potlakaya. This vegetable offers a good amount of flavor that I love incorporating into my cooking. I usually make this stir fry using to go as an accompaniment to a hot spicy curry to be served with rice. It also goes well with yogurt and rice.
