Cherupayar in English is commonly known as Green Gram Beans.
Cherupayar, also referred to as Moong, is a widely consumed legume, particularly in Indian cuisine. It's a versatile ingredient used in a variety of dishes. Here's a breakdown:
- Whole Green Gram (Cherupayar/Moong): This refers to the entire bean with its skin intact.
- Split Green Gram (with skin): This is the split version of the whole green gram, retaining the green skin.
- Split and Skinned Green Gram (Moong Dal): This is the split green gram with the skin removed, resulting in a yellow lentil. This is often called "Moong Dal".
Therefore, while "Moong" is another name for it, and "Moong Dal" refers specifically to the split and skinned version, "Green Gram Beans" is the most accurate and comprehensive English translation for Cherupayar in its whole form.
