Indian Dal Lentils: The Heart of Indian Cuisine

Indian lentils, known as dal, are the cornerstone of Indian food. India produces roughly 25% of the world's lentils, and dal is eaten daily by hundreds of millions across the subcontinent. An essential source of plant-based protein, dal comes in dozens of varieties with distinct textures and flavours, each associated with specific dishes and regions.

Main Varieties of Indian Lentils

• Toor Dal (Arhar): The most widely used lentil in North India. The base of classic dal tadka, it has a creamy texture and slightly sweet taste
• Masoor Dal: Red lentils that cook quickly. Perfect for simple everyday soups and dals
• Moong Dal: Split mung beans, light and easy to digest. Ideal for light meals and recovery diets
• Urad Dal: Split black gram, rich and creamy. The base of the famous dal makhani, a festive dish par excellence
