Natco Toor Dal Plain - 1kg is dried split pigeon peas, also known as arhar dal, tuvar dal or kandi pappu. These yellow split pulses are distinct from chana dal and yellow split peas, with a mild, earthy flavour that works with spices, tomato and tamarind. Use this plain variety for dal tadka, vegetable sambar and Gujarati dal, cooking and mashing it to the texture your recipe needs. The 1kg pack is a dry ingredient requiring preparation and cooking, not a ready-to-eat dal.
Toor dal softens during cooking to form a base that can be lightly mashed for a smooth, thick finish. Add cooking liquid for a more spoonable dal or simmer to reduce it for a thicker accompaniment to chapati. Its mild taste lets cumin, garlic, curry leaves and other recipe seasonings shape the finished dish. The 1kg format lets you portion out the amount needed for each meal and keep the remaining dry pulses tightly 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 depends on soaking and cooking method, so check that the dal is soft rather than relying on a fixed time alone. Stir as the mixture thickens, add hot water when needed and mash to your preferred consistency. For sambar, cook the dal until soft before combining with prepared vegetables, tamarind and spices according to your recipe. If pressure cooking, follow the appliance's liquid requirements and capacity guidance. Do not eat the dal raw.
