What Are Red Split Lentils?

Red split lentils are split, dehusked lentils commonly known as masoor dal. They soften and break down during cooking, making them useful for smooth or lightly textured dals, soups and curries.

Their split form generally cooks more quickly than whole lentils. Follow the pack’s directions and adjust the cooking method to achieve the texture required by your dish.

The number of servings depends on your recipe, portion size and whether the lentils are served as a main dish or accompaniment.
