Red Split Lentils for Creamy Dal and Comforting Soups

KCS Red Split Lentils (Masoor Dal) 2kg are dried orange-red split lentils, also known as lal masoor dal. Their mild, earthy flavour works with warming spices, while their soft texture helps create creamy dals and thick soups as they cook down. Unlike whole masoor, these lentils are split and skinless, making them a useful choice for recipes that call for a smooth, cohesive finish rather than separate whole lentils. The 2kg bag suits kitchens that prepare lentil dishes regularly.

Why Choose KCS Red Split Lentils 2kg?

Masoor dal brings body to a dish without overwhelming the other ingredients. Simmer it with onion, tomato and turmeric for a simple dal, or combine it with vegetables and stock for a thicker soup. The lentils soften and break down during cooking, allowing you to adjust the consistency with water or stock: keep the mixture thick for serving with roti, or loosen it for spooning over rice.

Their gentle flavour is a versatile base for cumin, ginger, garlic and chilli. A finishing tarka adds an aromatic contrast to the soft lentils, while lemon and fresh coriander bring a brighter finish. Rinse and check the lentils before use, follow the current pack's preparation instructions, and cook thoroughly until tender. Cooking time and water requirements depend on your recipe and equipment.

Serving Suggestions

• Simmer with tomato, turmeric and ginger, then finish with cumin and garlic tarka for everyday masoor dal.

• Add to vegetable stews to create a thicker sauce and a soft lentil texture.
