Moong dal or Vigna radiata is native to India and a small grained variety is roasted and used to prepare a very simple dal with just a little ginger and some basic spices. This is enjoyed with a small grained fragrant rice variety known as Gobindbhog.

Respected Madam and Sir, Sorry to say that actual Sona Moong Dal are not grown now-a-days in India especially or rather in West Bengal. These grains of Sona Moong Dal were grown in the district of Nadia in the then West Bengal unfortunately after partition in the year of 1947 that part of the district of Nadia has been gone or merged in the East Pakistan now which is called Bangladesh. Therefore actual Sona Moong Dal has been lost from our life as well as from our taste. In the market of West Bengal a small grain of normal Moong Dal are being sold which are not the actual Sona Moong Dal.

No offense to professor, who is definitely very knowledgeable. But he gave a few glaring misinformation.
