Red Split Lentils for Small-Batch Dals and Creamy Soups

TRS Red Split Lentils (Masoor Dal) 500g 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, giving dals, soups and curries a creamy consistency. Unlike brown whole masoor, which retains its skin and a more distinct shape, this split form suits dishes where the lentils become a soft, cohesive base. The 500g pack is a handy choice for smaller households or trying a new lentil recipe.

Why Choose TRS Red Split Lentils 500g?

Red split lentils bring body to a dish without overpowering its seasoning. Simmer them with tomato, ginger and turmeric for an everyday dal, then finish with sizzling cumin and garlic for an aromatic contrast. For a milder meal, cook with carrots, onion and stock, allowing the lentils to soften into a thick soup. Their gentle flavour also works with coconut milk, warming spices and fresh coriander.

Adjust the liquid to suit the way you serve them: a thicker consistency works well with chapati, while a looser dal is ideal for spooning over rice. Measure out the amount required by your recipe and keep the remainder tightly sealed for another meal. Rinse and check the lentils before preparation, follow the current pack's soaking and cooking guidance, and cook thoroughly until tender. Cooking time and water requirements vary with the recipe and equipment.

Serving Suggestions

  • Make masoor dal with tomato and turmeric, finishing with a cumin, garlic and chilli tarka.
  • Simmer with carrots, onion and vegetable stock for a warming soup, blending for a smoother finish if preferred.
  • Cook with coconut milk, ginger and spinach for a creamy lentil curry served with rice.
  • Add to tomato-based vegetable stews for a thicker sauce and a soft lentil texture.
  • Combine with rice and mild spices for masoor dal khichdi, adjusting the liquid to your preferred consistency.
