Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between dal and lentils?
Dal refers to dried, split pulses — including lentils, peas and beans. In Indian cooking, dal also refers to the cooked dish made from these pulses. Whole legumes such as rajma and chhole are not technically dal but are part of the same pulse family.
Which dal is easiest to cook?
Masoor dal (red lentils) is the quickest and easiest — it requires no soaking and cooks in 15–20 minutes. Moong dal is also quick-cooking and very easy to digest.
Do I need to soak dal before cooking?
Split dals such as moong and masoor do not need soaking. Whole legumes such as rajma, chhole and urad dal benefit from overnight soaking to reduce cooking time and improve digestibility.
