Masoor Dal can be made in tons of different ways, but they’re perfect for a quick, 30-minute meal that’s packed with flavor! These little Red Lentils sport perhaps the nuttiest and sweetest flavor profile of the lentils, and they boast a very soft, palatable silhouette when cooked through. Because of this, they’re great for making curries or for thickening soups or saucy braises. Red Lentils make a great companion to some steamed basmati rice, pickle, and papad – this simple dish is a signature comfort food. Mix with a side of vegetable or cucumber raita, and you have a wholesome, bright meal that’s light, earthy and fresh! Weight: 2 lb (909 g)
