Popularly known as Arhar Dal, Toor Dal is the most delicious dal that can be made on a regular basis. It is mainly used for making dishes like Sambhar, Gujarati Dal and the famous Tadke Wali Dal. This dal is rich in iron, folic and magnesium and can be used to make South Indian sweet dish Obbattu as well.
In Indian households, we eat our dal with roti, rice, or dosa.
You can easily thicken the dal by simmering it a bit more (uncovered, of course), or thin it out a bit with some extra water. If you'd like to make it smoother (and the dal is already completely tender), just whisk it a few times. Some recipes tell you to puree the dal in a blender, but I rarely do so.
For dinner, you can consider eating lighter dals like moong dal or masoor dal, as they are easier to digest compared to heavier dals like chana dal or rajma. Remember to balance your meal with vegetables and other nutritious foods too.
