Toor Dal Unpolished 1KG

Unpolished toor dal. The everyday dal of Indian kitchens.

Our Toor Dal (arhar / split pigeon pea) is left unpolished, with no oil or powder coating, so it keeps its natural look and flavour. It cooks down to a mild, creamy, comforting texture, and it's the base of countless meals, from simple home dal to sambar. Sourced for quality and consistency.

How to use it

• Prep: Rinse 2–3 times until the water runs clear, then soak for 30 minutes if you like. Soaking shortens cooking time.
• Cook: Pressure cook with 3 cups of water per cup of dal, plus a pinch of turmeric, for 3–4 whistles, or simmer for 30–40 minutes until soft. Mash lightly.
• Classic dishes: Dal tadka, dal fry, Gujarati sweet-and-sour dal, sambar and rasam.
• Tempering: Finish with ghee, cumin, mustard seeds, garlic, dried chilli and hing.
