Retail – HEERA RED SPLIT LENTILS – 2kg

Description

Heera Red Split Lentils, a quick cooking staple for dal and soups.

Heera is a British South Asian grocery brand and this is their dried red split lentils, known as masoor dal, in a 2kg bag. The 2kg size is a single retail pack, larger than a standard supermarket bag and handy for households that cook pulses often or for smaller catering use. Red split lentils have had their skins removed and are split, so they cook faster than whole lentils and break down into a soft purée.

Key Features

• Single 2kg retail pack, good value for regular dal cooking.
• Split and skinless, so they soften quickly with no long soak needed.
• Turn a golden colour and soft texture, ideal for a smooth tarka dal.
• A plant source of protein and fibre that suits vegetarian menus.
• Neutral, mild flavour that carries spices, garlic and ghee well.

Cooking and Uses: Rinse well, then simmer with water, turmeric and salt until soft, roughly 20 to 30 minutes, and finish with a fried spice tarka. Also good in soups, stews and thick lentil dishes.

Storage

Keep in a cool dry place in a sealed container once opened. Best used within the date on the pack.
