Oily Split Pigeon Peas for Dal Tadka, Sambar and Everyday Meals

Fudco Toor Dal Oily Malawi - 1.5kg is labelled Malawi Toor Dall on the pack, with the description split huskless oily pigeon peas. Also known as arhar dal or tuvar dal, these yellow split grains are a cooking ingredient for homemade dals, vegetable sambars and rice dishes. This is the oily variety, distinct from toor dal labelled plain or unoily, and the 1.5kg pack can be measured out for individual recipes.

Why Choose Fudco Toor Dal Oily Malawi?

Toor dal softens during cooking to create a substantial base that can be left lightly textured or mashed until smooth. Its mild, earthy flavour works with cumin, garlic and ginger in dal tadka, and with tamarind and vegetables in sambar. The split, huskless format helps distinguish it from whole pigeon peas and other yellow pulses such as chana dal. Choose this pack when your recipe or household preference calls for the oily variety, then adjust the spices and consistency to suit the meal.

Sort through the dal and rinse thoroughly before preparation. Follow the current pack instructions for any washing, soaking and cooking requirements. Simmer in sufficient water until the grains are fully tender, stirring occasionally as the dal thickens and adding hot water when needed. Mash to your preferred consistency before finishing with vegetables, spices or a tempering. Cooking time varies with the method and whether the dal has been soaked; use tenderness as your guide.

Serving Suggestions

• Prepare dal tadka with tomato, turmeric and a finishing tempering of cumin, garlic and dried chilli.
• Make vegetable sambar with cooked dal, tamarind, sambar spices and vegetables such as aubergine or drumstick.
• Cook a Gujarati-style dal with your preferred balance of tangy, sweet and warming flavours.
• Combine with rice and vegetables for khichdi, adjusting the liquid for a soft or more textured finish.
• Serve a thick, gently mashed dal with chapati, or loosen it with hot water to spoon over steamed rice.
