Toor Whole (Tuver Whole)

Toor Whole — Tuver Whole | Whole Pigeon Peas | 4 lb, 8 lb & 55 lb

Toor Whole (tuver whole / whole pigeon peas) is the unprocessed, whole form of toor dal — the hull-on, unsplit pigeon pea. Heartier in texture and nuttier in flavour than split toor dal, it is used in rustic, slow-cooked dishes and is also popular for sprouting. A less common but traditional ingredient in Gujarati and South Indian cooking. Available in retail and bulk sizes.

Culinary Uses:

• Whole toor dal curry — a rustic, hearty slow-cooked lentil dish
• Mixed legume and bean curries
• Slow-cooked stews and soups
• Sprouted pigeon peas — for salads, chaat, and snacks
• Traditional Gujarati and South Indian recipes calling for whole tuver
• Mixed dal preparations with other whole legumes

Whole vs. Split Toor Dal: Whole toor retains its hull and takes longer to cook than split toor dal. It has a firmer, heartier texture and a more pronounced earthy, nutty flavour. Best for dishes where a chunkier texture is desired or for sprouting.

How to Use: Soak overnight in cold water (8–12 hours) before cooking. Drain, rinse, and pressure cook until completely tender. Whole pigeon peas take longer to cook than split dal.
