Trs Masoor Dal, Red Split Lentils

Description

Red lentils have colors ranging from gold to orange to actual red, these are the sweetest and nuttiest of the lentils. They’re somewhere in the middle in terms of cooking time and are usually done in about 30 minutes. They tend to get mushy when cooked through, so they’re perfect for Indian dals and other curries, or for thickening soups. A few varieties are Red Chief and Crimson, and you’ll often find them in Indian or Middle Eastern markets labeled as masoor (red lentils) or channa (yellow lentils).
