Natco Red Split Lentils (Masoor Dal) 2kg are dried, skinless split lentils with an orange-red colour and a mild, earthy flavour. Also known as lal masoor dal, they soften and break down as they cook, bringing a creamy consistency to dals, soups and curries. This split form differs from brown whole masoor, which retains its skin and a more distinct whole-lentil texture. The 2kg pack is a practical option for households that regularly cook lentil dishes or prepare larger batches.
Red split lentils provide a soft, cohesive base that carries the flavours of your chosen spices. Simmer them with onion, tomato and turmeric for an everyday dal, then finish with a fragrant garlic and cumin tarka. For a different meal, cook them with vegetables and stock, allowing the lentils to thicken the soup naturally as they soften. Their gentle flavour also pairs well with ginger, chilli, coconut milk and fresh coriander.
Vary the amount of liquid to suit the dish: keep the lentils thicker for serving with chapati, or add water or stock for a looser dal to spoon over rice. The larger pack lets you portion out what you need for each recipe without committing the whole bag to one dish. Rinse and check the lentils before preparation, follow the current pack's soaking and cooking guidance, and cook thoroughly until tender. Cooking time and water requirements depend on the recipe and equipment.
