Toor Dal – Nutritious & Versatile Split Pigeon Peas
Toor Dal, also known as Split Pigeon Peas, is a staple pulse in Indian households and widely consumed across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Known for its mild, nutty flavor and smooth texture after cooking, toor dal is one of the most important legumes used in everyday meals, especially in preparing dal curries, sambhar, and lentil soups.
Harvested from pigeon pea plants, toor dal is split and hulled to make it more digestible and easier to cook. It is an excellent source of plant-based protein and is ideal for vegetarians and health-conscious individuals.
