Retail – East End RED LENTILS POLISHED 500g

Description

East End Red Lentils Polished 500 g for quick cooking dals and soups

These are polished red lentils from East End Foods, sold as a single 500 g retail pack. Red lentils, sometimes called masoor dall, are the split and skinned lentil that turns soft and golden as it cooks. The polished finish gives clean, even grains that break down into a smooth texture. A 500 g pack is a handy household size for a few family meals.

Key Features

• Split red lentils that cook faster than most whole pulses, so no long overnight soak is needed
• A single 500 g retail pack, easy to store in the cupboard and portion as you go
• Naturally a good source of plant protein and fibre, ideal for meat free days (verify nutrition on pack)
• A versatile base for tarka dal, lentil soup, dhal and thick vegetable stews
• Trusted East End Foods quality, a familiar name in British South Asian kitchens

Cooking and Uses: Rinse the lentils in cold water until it runs clear. Simmer roughly one part lentils to three parts water for about twenty to twenty five minutes until soft, skimming any foam. Soaking is optional and can shorten cooking. Finish with a tarka of onions, garlic, cumin and spices for a classic dal. For caterers they hold well in a bain marie and scale easily for batch cooking.

Storage

Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container and use within the period shown on the pack.
