Toor Dal

What is Toor Dal?

Toor Dal, also known as Arhar dal or pigeon pea, is a staple pulse used daily in Indian households. It cooks soft, blends smoothly with spices, and gives a comforting taste that feels familiar on the plate. Good quality toor dal has clean grains, a natural pale yellow colour, and a mild aroma that suits both simple and rich recipes.

This dal is valued not only for taste but also for how easily it fits into everyday meals.

Why Choose Toor Dal from Lush Living?

Our Toor Dal is sourced from trusted farmers who grow pulses using traditional practices. The grains are properly cleaned and sorted to remove dust and broken pieces. We avoid over-polishing so the dal keeps its natural texture and cooks evenly.

When cooked, it turns soft without becoming watery, which makes it reliable for daily use. Families who prefer clean, consistent dal often notice the difference in both taste and texture.

Health Benefits of Toor Dal

Toor dal is a natural source of plant-based protein and dietary fibre. It helps keep meals filling and supports digestion when included regularly. Many people rely on toor dal as part of balanced home cooking because it feels light yet nourishing.

It is also suitable for all age groups, from children to elders, due to its soft texture after cooking.

How to Cook Toor Dal

Wash the dal properly and soak it for some time if needed. Pressure cook until soft. You can prepare it as a simple dal with turmeric and salt, or add spices for tadka dal. It also works well in sambhar, khichdi, dal fry and mixed vegetable curries.

The grains absorb flavours well, which makes the dish taste rich without needing extra oil.

Toor Dal vs Other Lentils – Difference & Taste

Compared to moong dal, toor dal has a fuller taste. Compared to chana dal, it cooks softer and faster. That balance of flavour and texture makes toor dal a preferred choice for everyday meals across many Indian homes.

Where Does Our Toor Dal Come From?

The dal comes from regions where pulses are grown seasonally and dried naturally. After harvesting, the grains are cleaned and processed carefully so the quality remains intact. Lush Living focuses on consistency, so every batch feels familiar when cooked.
