Dhatu Organic Toor Dal 500g — India's Most-Used Dal, Unpolished & Chemical-Free
Toor Dal — split pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) — is the most widely consumed dal in India, forming the backbone of sambar, dal tadka, rasam and varan. Known as Toor Dal in Hindi, Togari Bele in Kannada, Thuvaram Paruppu in Tamil and Kandhi Pappu in Telugu, it is the defining pulse of the Indian kitchen.
The 500g pack is ideal for smaller households, those new to Dhatu Organics who want to try the toor dal before moving to the 1kg value pack, or anyone who prefers to rotate between multiple dals and doesn't want a single dal to dominate the shelf. The same certified organic, unpolished, additive-free grain — in a more manageable quantity.

How to Cook Toor Dal
Pressure cooker (fastest): Rinse well. Add 1 part toor dal to 2.5 parts water. 2–3 whistles on medium heat. Mash slightly and temper to serve.
Stovetop: Soak 15–30 minutes, drain. Cook in 3x water — bring to boil, skim foam, reduce heat, cover and cook 25–30 minutes until completely soft.
Dal tadka: Cook dal until smooth and creamy. Temper with ghee, cumin, garlic, dried red chilli, chopped onion and tomato. Finish with garam masala and fresh coriander.
Sambar: Cook dal, mash smooth. Add tamarind water, sambar powder, vegetables (drumstick, carrot, pearl onions, tomato). Simmer and finish with a tadka of mustard seeds, dried red chilli, curry leaves and asafoetida in coconut oil.
Rasam: Thin down well-cooked dal with tamarind water, pepper, cumin, tomato and rasam powder. A warming digestive thin soup served at the end of a South Indian meal.
