Toor dal is a beige lentil with a yellow interior. This is the most important pulse in a Gujarati household. The fresh peas are used for curries and stuffing in spicy handpieces. They have a delicious nutty flavor that is very distinctive. The dried and split peas are a staple in everyday cooking as well. The famous “Gujarati Dal” is made with this pea where the balance between spicy, sweet and sour is most important.
