TRS Red Split Lentils (Masoor Dal) 1kg are dried, skinless split lentils with an orange-red colour and a mild, earthy flavour. Also known as lal masoor dal, they soften and break down during cooking, creating a creamy base for dals, soups and curries. Unlike brown whole masoor, which retains its skin and a more distinct lentil shape, this split form suits recipes where you want a softer, more cohesive texture. The 1kg pack is a practical cupboard staple for regular lentil cooking.
Red split lentils offer a gentle flavour that works with both simple seasoning and aromatic spice combinations. Simmer with onion, tomato, ginger and turmeric for an everyday masoor dal, then finish with sizzling cumin and garlic to add depth. For a different meal, combine with vegetables and stock, allowing the lentils to soften into a thick soup. Coconut milk gives a mellow, creamy finish, while lemon and fresh coriander bring a brighter contrast.
Adjust the liquid to match the way you want to serve them: a thicker dal pairs well with chapati, while a looser consistency is ideal for spooning over rice. Portion out the dried lentils for each recipe and keep the remainder tightly sealed. Rinse and check before preparation, follow the current pack's soaking and cooking guidance, and cook thoroughly until tender. Cooking time and water requirements depend on the recipe and equipment.
