If you prefer your dal to have more \"bite,\" you can cook it directly after rinsing. Since there is no oil coating to wash off, a simple rinse in cold water is sufficient. For a richer flavour, dry-roast the raw dal in a pan for 2–3 minutes until fragrant before boiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eNutritional Profile\u003c\/b\u003e Plain Toor Dal is a nutritional powerhouse, offering a clean source of \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"91\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003ePlant-Based Protein\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"115\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eFolic Acid\u003c\/b\u003e.
