Top Op Toor Dal Oily 1Kg
Description
Top Op Toor Dal Oily (also known as Arhar Dal or Split Pigeon Peas) is a staple of Indian cuisine, coated in a thin layer of edible oil. This traditional preservation method common in Western India protects the lentils from moisture and pests while extending their shelf life and enhancing their natural nutty flavour.
Culinary Versatility This variety is the preferred choice for making authentic Gujarati Dal, Puran Poli, and South Indian Sambhar. The oily coating helps the lentils cook into a smoother, creamier consistency compared to the dry version. It pairs exceptionally well with bold spices like cumin, mustard seeds, and curry leaves, serving as a rich base for daily meals.
Pro-Tips Because these lentils are oil-treated, they require a more thorough rinsing in warm water to remove the surface oil before cooking. For the best texture, soak the dal for at least 30–60 minutes to reduce cooking time and ensure a melt-in-the-mouth feel. Using a pressure cooker or instant pot will produce a perfectly soft, mash able consistency in about 10–15 minutes.
Nutritional Profile Toor Dal is an excellent source of Plant-Based Protein and Folic Acid, which is essential for blood health and energy. It is high in Dietary Fiber, helping to regulate digestion and maintain stable blood sugar levels. Being low in saturated fat, it is a heart-healthy choice for a balanced diet.
Storage and Care Store in a cool, dry place. While the oil coating acts as a natural preservative, it is still best to transfer the pack to an airtight container once opened. Keep the container away from direct sunlight to prevent the oil from becoming rancid, ensuring the lentils stay fresh and flavourful for months.
