Sabut Masoor Ki Dal | Whole Masoor Dal

Sabut Masoor Dal (Whole brown lentil) is a popular dal variety of Indian cuisine. This whole lentil curry is delicious, flavorful and easy to make. Sabut Masoor have a brown- black skin leading to this dal popularly being known as kaali dal. This is one of the healthiest and classic dal of main course as considered as a good source of protein and has a high nutrition profile.

This is one of my favourite dal. This Dal is usually has a medium to thick consistency and it gets even thicker and creamier as it cools down.

Whole lentils have high fibres and take too much time to cook so soak them for 30 minutes before cooking and then cook in a pressure cooker. Then you can temper this with onion tomato or only heeng jeera. You can give some flavor by adding garam masala and amchoor powder that you prefer. Serve this dal with steamed or jeera rice with roti. Masoor dal gives a great taste with rice.

Lobia Dip Recipe  "Move over hummus! Discover the rich, nutty flavors of our Zesty Lobia Dip . Lobia dip (Black-Eyed Pea dip) ( लोबिआ डिप ) is the underrated, protein-packed cousin of hummus that deserves a spot in your snack rotation. Often called "Texas Caviar" in its chunky form, this creamy version transforms the humble black-eyed pea into a silky, savory spread that’s both earthy and bright. Unlike chickpeas, which have a fairly neutral profile, lobia (black-eyed peas) offers a distinctively nutty, slightly smoky depth.
