Instead of Soy bean
Dried black soya beanUse the same weight; soak overnight and pressure-cook until tender. Darker colour and slightly stronger bean flavour.
ChickpeaUse the same weight of dried chickpeas, soaked overnight and boiled until soft. Firmer, nuttier and less oily than soy bean.
Whole mung beanUse the same weight; soak 4 hours and cook until soft. Cooks faster and gives a softer, milder dal.
