[Phil Troy/ G. Tacitus Adamantius]

Also sprach James Prescott:
>If you are referring to Indian cuisine, then 'gram' generally
>refers only to the chick pea and very close relatives, such as
>'channa' which is like a small chick pea with its skin removed,
>and with the pea split.  'Gram' flour is made from 'channa'.
>

>Nevertheless, for our greater confusion, 'gram' is occasionally
>used to refer to some other legumes, such as moong beans and
>horse gram.

I understood gram dal to be made from mung beans...
