Natco Toor Dal Plain - 2kg is a dried split pigeon pea dal, also known as arhar dal or tuvar dal. This plain toor dal is an ingredient for cooking, rather than a ready-to-eat meal. Its yellow split grains soften during cooking, creating a thick, gently textured base for dals, vegetable sambars and rice dishes. The 2kg pack suits kitchens that regularly prepare dal and want to portion out the amount needed for each meal.
Toor dal brings body to a dish while allowing your chosen spices, vegetables and tempering to shape the flavour. Cook it until tender for a dal with some texture, or continue cooking and mash it for a smoother consistency. Its mild, earthy character works with cumin and garlic in dal tadka, or tamarind and vegetables in sambar. This is the plain variety, distinct from toor dal labelled oily.
Before cooking, sort through the dal and rinse it thoroughly. Follow any preparation instructions on the current pack, and cook in sufficient water until the grains are fully tender. Adjust the water to make a thicker dal for roti or a looser consistency for rice; cooking time varies with your method and whether the dal has been soaked. Add your tempering towards the end so that the cooked dal carries the aroma of the spices.
