Red Gram (Toor Dal)

Red Gram, commonly known as Toor Dal or Pigeon Pea, is one of the most beloved and widely consumed pulses in India, forming the backbone of many regional cuisines. Our Toor Dal is sourced from the rich black-soil regions of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra, where the crop flourishes under the tropical sun. The harvested pigeon peas are sun-dried, de-husked, and split into small, glossy yellow lentils with a mild, earthy, slightly nutty flavour. Toor Dal is incredibly versatile—it is the primary ingredient in the iconic 'dal tadka' (tempered lentil soup), 'sambar' (South Indian vegetable-lentil stew), 'rasam', and many everyday dal preparations. It cooks relatively quickly without pre-soaking and yields a creamy, smooth texture when boiled. Nutritionally, Toor Dal is a powerhouse: rich in plant-based protein (approx. 22%), dietary fiber (approx. 15%), complex carbohydrates, folate, iron, magnesium, and potassium. It supports muscle repair, digestive health, heart function, blood sugar regulation, and provides sustained energy. Our Toor Dal is carefully sorted, cleaned, and polished to remove any husk particles, stones, or broken grains, ensuring you get clean, premium-quality dal for your daily meals.
