I am interested in making this recipe, but am confused as to what pigeon peas, black gram, bengal gram, and green gram are exactly. Can you please give the Indian (preferably Hindi) names for these things? My guess is that pigeon peas is arhar, black gram is urad, bengal gram is chana, and green gram is moong, but can you please confirm if possible?
