What are Dals and Pulses? Pulses are all your lentils, beans and peas. Dal\u00a0refers to split lentils, beans or peas. As a curry using split or whole lentils, beans or peas.<\/p>\n

Toor Dal (Split Pigeon Peas):\u00a0<\/strong>Split yellow pigeon peas. Most common dal used in yellow or tadka dal. Also a main ingredient in sambar, a South India soup often served with dosa, idli and in must in a South Indian thali (a full meal with vegetable dishes, rasam, sambar, rice, etc.). Flavor is often called a little musky.\u00a0Here<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0i<\/span>s a step by step recipe for a typical tadka dal using toor dal.\u00a0Here are two sambar recipes: sambar without using sambar powder<\/a>\u00a0and quick sambar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Toor<\/a><\/p>\n

Channa Dal (Chana Dal\/Split Garbanzo Beans\/Bengal Gram): <\/strong>Our second most used dal in yellow dal. Also can be used in a tadka in South Indian dishes and chutneys.\u00a0Here are two recipes using channa dal: \u00a0yummy channa dal<\/a> and channa dal w\/ spinach<\/a>.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Masoor Dal (Split Masoor Lentils): <\/strong>Red in color, but when cooked become yellow. This dal cooked fairly fast and a good choice if you don’t have a pressure cooker. Texture is a little gooey when cooked.\u00a0Here are a couple of masoor dal recipes: Hariyali Dal<\/a> and Masoor Dal w\/ Goda Masala<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yellow Moong Dal or Mung Dal (Peeled and Split Moong\/Mung Beans:<\/strong>\u00a0 Yellow moong dal cooks fast so it is great if you don’t have a pressure cooker. Texture is a little crumbly when cooked.\u00a0My new favorite is yellow moong dal with dill and garlic<\/a>…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Green Moong\/Mung Dal (Split, Unpeeled Moong\/Mung Beans):\u00a0<\/strong>Tastes like the healthiest dal to me! Maybe because it is green \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Whole Moong\/Mung Beans:<\/strong> Used in mug<\/a>, a great breakfast dal. Also love it in this recipe<\/a>\u00a0which adds yogurt to the dal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Whole Urad (Black Gram):<\/strong> Used in North Indian black dal or dal makhani (black dal with butter). Black dal dishes are typically cooked longer and are heavier\/richer than yellow dals.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Urad Dal (Peeled and Split Whole Urad):<\/strong> Used along with rice to make dosa and idli batter. Also vadas<\/a>. Also can be added to the tadka and poured onto dishes in South Indian cooking, great nutty flavor!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kidney Beans (Rajma):<\/strong> Rajma Masala<\/a> is the best single pot dish for a satisfying and quick meal. Amazing with tangy yogurt and onions prinkled with vinegar and chaat masala. We also get these in cans because it makes cooking so fast!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Channa (Chana\/Chole\/Garbanzo Beans\/Bengal Gram):<\/strong>\u00a0Another bean that we get in cans a lot for ease of cooking. If pressure cooking, soaking first drastically reduces the cooking time.\u00a0Great dishes include Punjabi Style Chole<\/a>\u00a0and a lighter\u00a0Chana<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kala Channa (Small Brown Chick Peas): <\/strong>Darker and a little smaller than the lighter channa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

White Peas:<\/strong> Dried peas used most often in <\/span>Ragda Pattice<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Black Eyed Peas:<\/strong> Used in many parts of the world, but in Indian cooking the two recipes I’ve made so far are Goan Black Eyed Pease<\/a>\u00a0and Marathi Black Eyed Peas<\/a>.<\/p>\n
