Heera Toor Dal Oily (Malawi) 2kg
Description
Heera Oily Toor Dal features premium split pigeon peas sourced from Malawi, known for their superior size and flavour. The "oily" designation means the lentils have been lightly coated in edible oil (usually castor oil), a traditional preservation method that keeps the dal fresh for longer and gives it a distinct, glossy finish.
Culinary Versatility: This dal is the backbone of traditional Gujarati Dal and South Indian Sambar. Malawi Toor Dal is particularly prized because it cooks down into a smooth, buttery consistency faster than many other varieties. This bulk 2kg pack is perfect for families who enjoy daily staples like Puran Poli fillings or hearty, tempering-heavy dal tadkas.
Pro-Tip: Because the dal is oily, you must rinse it thoroughly in warm water several times until the water runs clear; this removes the protective oil coating before cooking. For the best texture, pressure cook with a pinch of turmeric and a drop of oil for 3–4 whistles. To balance the natural sweetness of the Malawi bean, pair it with tangy ingredients like tamarind or kokum.
Nutritional Benefits: An excellent source of Plant-Based Protein and high in dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes satiety. It is naturally rich in Folic Acid (Folate), essential for cell repair, and contains minerals like Magnesium and Iron. The oil coating acts as a natural barrier, preserving these nutrients and preventing the beans from drying out during storage.
Storage & Care: Store in a cool, dry place. The oil coating already provides a layer of protection against pantry pests, but for this pack, an airtight container is still recommended to maintain peak freshness. There is no need to add extra preservatives; just keep it in a dark cupboard to prevent the natural oils from becoming rancid over time.
