Lentils & Millets

Dals and Millets

Lentils are a daily source of protein across the subcontinent, simmered into comforting dals, ground for dosa and vada batters, or sprouted for salads.

Millets such as bajra, jowar, and ragi bring wholesome, gluten-free variety to rotis and porridges.

Toor and moong suit everyday dals, while urad is the base for idli and dosa.

A good dal is about the finishing touches.

Serve it with basmati rice, temper it with a spoon of ghee from our oil and ghee at Panjab Supermarket, and bloom whole tempering spices in hot oil for the tadka.
