Nitra Whole Masoor (Brown Lentils)

About this item

Whole brown lentils with a creamy bite. Nitra Whole Masoor are brown lentils with their skin on, known as sabut masoor, for heartier dals and soups.

Why cooks choose it

The skin helps the lentils hold their shape, while the inside cooks to a light, slightly creamy texture. The result is a dal with more body and an earthy flavour, lovely with steamed rice and equally good in brothy soups and weeknight curries.

What to cook with it

• Whole masoor curry
• Brown lentil and vegetable soup
• Masoor dal with rice
• Lentil salad with lemon and herbs

How to cook

Soak for 1 to 2 hours. Pressure-cook 1 cup with 3 cups water for 4 whistles, or simmer for 30 to 35 minutes until tender. Add to an onion-tomato masala and simmer for 10 minutes more.

Pack sizes

Available in 500 g and 1 kg packs.
