Natco Brown Whole Lentils (Masoor Dal) 2kg are dried whole lentils with their brown skins intact, labelled Masoor Whole Brown Lentils on the pack. Also known as sabut masoor or whole masoor dal, they have an earthy flavour and tender centres when cooked. Unlike skinless red split lentils, which readily break down into a smooth dal, whole brown lentils bring a more distinct texture to curries, soups and stews. The 2kg pack suits kitchens that regularly prepare whole-lentil dishes or cook larger batches.
Choose whole masoor when you want visible lentils and a rustic finish rather than a completely smooth base. Their skins remain present as the centres soften, giving texture to tomato-based dals and vegetable stews. Cook until tender for dishes where you want individual lentils, or simmer further for a softer curry with a thicker sauce. Thoroughly cooked and drained, they also work well in lentil salads with fresh herbs and a lemon dressing.
Their earthy flavour pairs naturally with cumin, ginger, garlic and warming spices. Finish a dal with an aromatic tarka, or add lemon and coriander for a brighter contrast at serving. Measure out the amount required for your recipe and keep the remainder tightly sealed. Rinse and check the lentils before preparation, follow the current pack's soaking and cooking guidance, and cook thoroughly until tender. Water requirements and cooking time depend on your recipe and equipment.
