Masoor Dal (Split Red Lentils) - Guthni - 1 kg

Masoor Dal, known in English as split red lentils, is masoor with the brown skin removed and the lentil split. The small orange-pink pieces turn golden yellow and soft when cooked, and they cook faster than most other dals, without any soaking. Masoor dal is an everyday dal in homes across North and East India. Cook it with haldi and salt, then finish with a tadka of ghee or mustard oil, jeera, garlic and dry red chilli to eat with rice or roti. Bengali homes make a thin masoor dal with panch phoron. It also suits khichdi, lentil soup, dal palak and masoor dal vada. Rinse the dal well before cooking and store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This masoor dal is sold under the Guthni brand by Guthni Farmer Producer Company Limited. Available in a 1 kg pack, delivered across India.
