Red Split Lentils for Creamy Family Dals and Warming Soups

Fudco Red Split Lentils (Masoor Dal) 1.5kg 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 during cooking, bringing a creamy consistency to dals, soups and curries. Unlike brown whole masoor, which retains its skin and a more distinct shape, this split form is suited to recipes where the lentils become a soft, cohesive base. The 1.5kg pack is a practical choice for households that prepare lentil dishes regularly.

Why Choose Fudco Red Split Lentils 1.5kg?

Red split lentils provide a gentle-flavoured base for a wide range of seasonings. Simmer them with onion, tomato, ginger and turmeric, then finish with a fragrant cumin and garlic tarka for an everyday masoor dal. For a milder dish, combine with vegetables and stock, allowing the lentils to thicken the soup as they soften. Coconut milk adds a mellow, creamy finish, while lemon and fresh coriander bring a brighter contrast.

Portion out the amount needed for each recipe and keep the remainder tightly sealed for another meal. Adjust the liquid to suit your serving style: a thicker dal pairs well with chapati, while a looser consistency is ideal for spooning over rice. 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.

Serving Suggestions

  • Make masoor dal with tomato and turmeric, finishing with a sizzling cumin, garlic and chilli tarka.
  • Simmer with carrots, onion and vegetable stock for a warming lentil soup, blending for a smoother finish if preferred.
  • Cook with coconut milk, ginger and spinach for a creamy red lentil curry served with rice.
  • Add to tomato-based vegetable stews to thicken the sauce and give a soft lentil texture.
  • Combine with rice and mild spices for masoor dal khichdi, adjusting the liquid to your preferred consistency.
