TRS Toor Dal Plain - 500g is dried split pigeon peas, also known as arhar dal or tuvar dal. These yellow split pulses are distinct from chana dal and yellow split peas, and cook down into a soft base for dals and vegetable dishes. This plain variety suits recipes such as dal tadka, sambar and Gujarati dal, with a mild, earthy flavour that works with spices, tomato and tamarind. The 500g pack is a dry ingredient requiring preparation and cooking, not a ready-to-eat dal.
Toor dal can be cooked until soft and lightly mashed for a smooth, thick dal, or loosened with cooking liquid for a more spoonable consistency. Its mild flavour allows cumin, garlic, curry leaves and other recipe seasonings to shape the finished dish. Use it as the pulse base for sambar or prepare a simple tempered dal to serve with rice and vegetables. The 500g format lets you measure out the quantity needed for each recipe and keep the remaining dry dal sealed.
Sort through the dal and rinse thoroughly before preparation. Follow the current pack instructions or your chosen recipe for soaking, then drain if soaked and cook in fresh water as directed until fully tender. Cooking time varies with soaking and cooking method, so check that the dal is soft rather than relying on a fixed time alone. Stir as it thickens, top up with hot water when needed and mash to your preferred texture. For sambar, cook the dal until soft before combining with the prepared vegetables, tamarind and spices according to your recipe. If pressure cooking, follow the appliance's liquid requirements and capacity guidance.
