Toor Dal or Moong Dal: Which One for Tonight?

Toor dal is the heart of sambar and everyday dal tadka. It cooks into a rich, creamy texture and pairs perfectly with rice and ghee.

Moong dal is lighter and quicker to cook. It is the classic choice for khichdi, and many families prefer it on days when they want something gentle and simple.

Both are a wonderful source of plant protein for vegetarian meals, so keep both in your pantry and let the day's mood decide.
