Nitra Masoor Dal (Red Lentils)

About this item

Quick-cooking red lentils. Nitra Masoor Dal is split red lentils, the fastest dal in the pantry and a weeknight favourite in Indian and Arab kitchens alike.

Why cooks choose it

The small split lentils need no soaking and soften in minutes, turning a golden yellow as they cook into a smooth, comforting dal. Simmered longer, they melt into a silky lentil soup, and they blend easily into khichdi.

What to cook with it

• Masoor dal tadka
• Lentil and spinach soup
• Masoor khichdi
• Red lentil soup with cumin and lemon

How to cook

Rinse until the water runs clear. Simmer 1 cup lentils in 3 cups water with turmeric for 15 to 20 minutes, or pressure-cook for 2 whistles. Whisk smooth, season and pour over a tadka of cumin, garlic and red chilli.
