Toor, moong, masoor or a mix - which dal to cook when, and why unpolished pulses are better.

For most Indian families, a bowl of dal is the heart of the daily meal - comforting, affordable and full of protein.
Know your dals
- Toor dal: creamy and hearty - perfect for dal tadka and sambar.
- Moong dal: light and easy to digest - ideal for khichdi.
- Masoor dal: cooks fastest, earthy flavour.
- Mix dal: the most nutritious of all - try a panchmel dal.
Why unpolished?
Polishing gives dal a shiny look but removes part of the outer layer along with nutrients. Unpolished dal looks natural, tastes better and is more wholesome.
