Toor Dal Dry (Tuver Dal Dry)

Toor Dal Dry — Tuver Dal | Split Pigeon Peas | 4 lb, 8 lb & 55 lb

Toor Dal (tuver dal / split pigeon peas) is one of the most widely consumed lentils in South Asian cooking. Yellow, split, and hull-removed, the dry variety has no oil coating — it cooks up clean and is preferred for everyday dal, sambar, and khichdi. A foundational staple across Gujarati, South Indian, Maharashtrian, and North Indian cuisines. Available in retail and bulk sizes.

Culinary Uses:

• Dal tadka — the beloved everyday lentil dish with a mustard and cumin tempering
• Sambar — the South Indian tamarind-lentil soup with vegetables
• Gujarati dal — the sweet and tangy toor dal with jaggery and kokum
• Dal dhokli — Gujarati spiced wheat dumplings simmered in toor dal
• Khichdi — one-pot rice and lentil comfort dish
• Mixed dal and lentil soups
• Panchmel dal — Rajasthani five-lentil blend

Dry vs. Oily Toor Dal: Dry toor dal has no oil coating and cooks cleaner — preferred for everyday cooking and dishes where a cleaner flavour is desired. Oily toor dal has a light oil coating that extends shelf life and is traditional in some regional recipes.

How to Use: Rinse well and soak for 30 minutes before cooking for faster, more even results. Pressure cook until completely soft before tempering.
