Frequently Asked Questions
Should I wash and soak toor dal before cooking?
Rinse it a few times until the water runs mostly clear. Soaking for 30 minutes is optional but helps the dal cook evenly and turn creamy faster.
Why does my toor dal foam in the pressure cooker?
Legumes release starch as they boil, which causes foam. A few drops of oil or ghee and not overfilling the cooker help keep the whistle clean.
Is this toor dal oily or unpolished?
The listing does not specify an oil coating or polish, so check the pack description. Rinse before cooking either way.
Add a bag to your cart and keep dal night on the menu all month.
