Whole Arhar Dal

Whole arhar dal, also known as toor dal or pigeon peas is mainly prepared to be served for lunch or dinner. The sabut dal is thick and gets even thicker as it cools. The flavor can be spicy, tangy and sweet, by adding spices, tamarind and jaggery while cooking. Cooked in an instant pot or pressure cooker, this whole lentil is simple and comforting. Vegan and gluten-free, the dal tastes good with rice, and chapati. Alternatively, people can eat it as soup.
