TRS 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, and soften during cooking to form a base for dals and vegetable dishes. This plain variety has a mild, earthy flavour suited to dal tadka, sambar and Gujarati dal. The 1kg pack is a dry ingredient requiring preparation and cooking, not a ready-to-eat dal.
Toor dal can be cooked until soft and lightly mashed for a smooth, thick finish, or loosened with cooking liquid for a more spoonable dal. Its mild taste lets cumin, garlic, curry leaves and other recipe seasonings shape the finished dish. Use it as the pulse base for vegetable sambar or prepare a simple tempered dal alongside rice and vegetables. The 1kg format allows you to portion out each recipe's quantity and keep the remaining dry dal tightly sealed for later meals.
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 it thickens, add hot water when needed and mash to your preferred texture. 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.
