The story

Toor dal is the backbone of every South Indian thali — the dal in sambar, in rasam, in pappu. Sweet, earthy, holds its shape just enough.

We source unpolished toor — no oil rub, no artificial colour. The cooked dal is duller in colour than the supermarket version, and tastes immeasurably better for it.

How to use

In the kitchen.

  • 01Pressure cook 4 whistles, or simmer 45 minutes.
  • 02The base of every great sambar and dal tadka.
  • 03Two tablespoons in rasam thickens it just right.
