Nice ...

Do we have to soak the dal or grind it instantly?

If u r doing with whole moong dal then soak it for 4 to 6 hours.If u r doing with split moongdal then 1 hour is enough.You can also wet grind the whole and split daal,immediately after washing them, but more water is required..Health wise the third is best,even if you eat,one or two more no problem arises.
