Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Toor Dal "Oily" or "Dry"?
This is the oily variety, which is traditionally coated in a small amount of edible oil to extend shelf life and help the dal cook to a creamier consistency.

Do I need to soak Toor Dal before cooking?
While not strictly required if using a pressure cooker or Instant Pot, soaking for 30–60 minutes helps reduce cooking time and improves digestibility.

Is Toor Dal the same as Chana Dal?
No. While both are yellow pulses, Toor Dal comes from pigeon peas and cooks down to a soft, mushy texture. Chana Dal comes from split chickpeas and tends to hold its shape better.

Does this product contain gluten?
Toor Dal is naturally gluten-free. However, as with all bulk pulses, we recommend rinsing thoroughly before use to remove any surface dust from the processing facility.

How long does it take to cook?
In a standard stovetop pot, it takes about 30–45 minutes. In a pressure cooker, it typically takes 3–4 whistles (about 10–12 minutes) to reach a soft consistency.

What is the shelf life of an 11 lbs bag?
When stored properly in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, Toor Dal remains at peak quality for up to 12–18 months.
