Perfect for Everyday Dal Tadka

Toor Dal is ideal for a simple everyday dal tadka.

Cook the lentils until tender with turmeric, then finish with a hot tempering of ingredients such as cumin or mustard seeds, garlic, ginger and chilli. Serve with steamed rice, roti or naan.

Essential for South Indian Sambar

Toor Dal is one of the classic foundations of sambar, where the cooked lentils combine with vegetables, tamarind and aromatic spices.

SpicenEasy's own recipe uses soaked Toor Dal with turmeric, vegetables, sambar powder, tamarind, mustard seeds and curry leaves.

Great for Curries & Soups

Because it softens during cooking, Toor Dal adds body to vegetable curries, lentil soups and one-pot meals.

It works naturally with turmeric, cumin, coriander, mustard seeds, ginger, garlic, tomato and chilli.

Use for Varan & Regional Dal Dishes

Toor Dal is used across numerous regional Indian recipes, from simple Maharashtrian-style Varan to Gujarati-style dal and other home-style lentil dishes. SpicenEasy's smaller Toor Dal page also highlights several of these preparations.

How to Cook Toor Dal

Rinse the lentils thoroughly before cooking. SpicenEasy's recipe recommends soaking in warm water for at least 30 minutes, then simmering with turmeric and salt until tender before adding the final tempering.

The cooking time will vary depending on soaking, batch and whether you use a saucepan or pressure cooker, so cook until the lentils reach the consistency required by your recipe.
