Whole Brown Lentils for Textured Dals and Hearty Stews

TRS Brown Whole Lentils (Masoor Dal) 500g are dried whole lentils with their brown skins intact. Also known as sabut masoor or whole masoor dal, they have an earthy flavour and a tender centre when cooked. Unlike skinless red split lentils, which readily break down into a smooth dal, whole brown lentils bring a more distinct lentil texture to curries, soups and stews. The 500g pack is a handy size for smaller households or exploring whole-masoor recipes.

Why Choose TRS Brown Whole Lentils 500g?

Choose whole masoor when you want visible lentils and a rustic finish rather than a completely smooth base. Their skins remain present as the centres soften, giving texture to tomato-based dals and vegetable stews. Cook until tender for dishes where you want individual lentils, or simmer further for a softer curry with a thicker sauce.

Their earthy flavour pairs well with cumin, ginger, garlic and warming spices. A finishing tarka adds an aromatic contrast, while lemon and fresh coriander brighten the dish at serving. Rinse and check the lentils before preparation, follow the current pack's soaking and cooking guidance, and cook thoroughly until tender. Adjust water and cooking time to your recipe and equipment rather than relying on a fixed soaking time.

Serving Suggestions

• Prepare sabut masoor dal with onion, tomato, ginger and cumin, serving with rice or chapati.
• Simmer with carrots, celery and vegetable stock for a hearty whole-lentil soup.
• Add to tomato-based vegetable stews for an earthy flavour and a textured finish.
• Combine thoroughly cooked, drained lentils with cucumber, lemon and coriander for a cooked lentil salad.
• Cook with rice and mild spices for whole-masoor khichdi, allowing enough time for the lentils to become tender.
