Description
Twenty minutes. No soaking. That is the entire barrier to entry for one of the most nourishing, satisfying meals in any cuisine. ApnaBaba Red Split Lentils are hulled and split Masoor Dal – they cook fast, they absorb everything you cook them with, and they dissolve into a silky, comforting consistency that works equally well as a soup base, a curry centrepiece or a protein-rich component in plant-based cooking.
Naturally high in plant-based protein and iron. Naturally gluten-free. Naturally low in fat. Carefully cleaned and processed for uniform size, which means consistent cooking results every single time.
How to use it?
- Classic Masoor Dal: Cooked with onion, tomato and turmeric, finished with a hot ghee tadka of cumin and garlic. Ready in under 30 minutes and genuinely one of the most complete, satisfying meals possible.
- Silky soups: Simmer with stock and carrot, then blend. The lentils produce a naturally creamy, protein-rich texture with no cream, no thickener, no effort.
- Plant-based patties: Cooked and mashed lentils bind well with breadcrumbs and spices. A reliable, nutritious base for veggie burgers that actually hold together on the grill.
- Stew thickener: Stir a handful into any vegetable stew in the final 20 minutes. They dissolve, adding body, colour and protein with no processed additives.
★
PRO TIP Add salt only at the end of cooking – salting too early prevents lentils from softening properly. Finish every dal or soup with a squeeze of lemon. It lifts the entire dish in a way that nothing else does.
