Red Split Lentils (Raato Daal)- 2 lbs

Red split lentils, or Raato Daal, are one of the most widely used pulses across South Asian and Nepali kitchens. Their vibrant orange-red colour, mild flavour, and remarkably quick cooking time make them a go-to for busy weeknight meals. When cooked, they break down into a smooth, silky dal that pairs perfectly with steamed rice or roti. Simply tempered with ghee, garlic, turmeric, and cumin, raato daal becomes a deeply satisfying and nutritious meal in under 30 minutes. Rich in protein, iron, and fibre, this is a true everyday superfood. Whether you are new to South Asian cooking or a seasoned home cook, red split lentils are an essential pantry staple.
