Arhar daal, also known as Toor daal or split pigeon peas, is one of the most beloved lentils across the Indian subcontinent and Nepal. Its warm golden colour and mildly sweet, slightly earthy flavour make it the foundation of iconic dishes like sambar, gujarati dal, and the deeply comforting everyday dals of Nepali households. Arhar cooks into a wonderfully thick, creamy consistency that coats rice beautifully. Tempered with mustard seeds, dried red chilli, and a generous pour of ghee, it is simple home cooking at its finest. Packed with protein and dietary fibre, this 2 lb bag of toor daal is an indispensable pantry staple for any South Asian kitchen in Canada.
