Masoor dal (dried)

Masoor dal refers to split red lentils, small and quick-cooking, that turn soft and slightly golden when cooked, breaking down into a smooth consistency. They are a staple in Indian cooking, simmered into dals and soups, and require no pre-soaking due to their small size and thin skins. Their tendency to fully soften makes them well suited to thick, creamy lentil dishes.

Drying removes most of the water content, leaving a lighter, more concentrated product that weighs considerably less per cup than its fresh equivalent.
