Rawatji, Horse gram seeds are flatter than the whole masoor seeds and darker. These brown seeds appear to be a variety of either moong or rajma. I have personally seen and used a moong look alike which is called as chhota rajma, but which is redder and bigger than the regular moong daal. Kind Regards Janaki Turaga
