Toor dal, known by various names such as Pigeon Peas in English, Tuver Dal in Gujarati, Tuvaram in Telugu, and Arhar Dal in Hindi, is highly nutritious and possesses excellent characteristics. Mostly round, though sometimes slightly flattened, it is usually pale yellow or beige with a smooth, dry texture. Characterised by its small to medium-sized grains, each arhar dal lentil is roughly circular in shape. Its mild, nutty flavour adds a unique touch to dishes, further enhanced as it absorbs the rich taste of spices and other ingredients during cooking. This makes toor dal a staple in various cuisines, offering many dishes a delightful texture and flavour.
