How to Cook Masoor Dal

Rinse well and add directly to a pan with water or stock — no soaking required. Simmer for 15–20 minutes until soft and creamy. For a classic tarka dal, finish with a tadka of ghee or oil, cumin seeds, garlic, dried chilli, and a pinch of asafoetida poured sizzling over the cooked dal. Also excellent blended into soups, added to stews, or used as a base for lentil-stuffed flatbreads.
