Red Lentils Whole Skin On (Masoor) – Hearty Whole Masoor for Indian Cooking

Red Lentils Whole Skin On (Masoor) are whole, unhulled masoor lentils with their natural outer skin intact. They are commonly known as whole masoor dal, sabut masoor, akha masoor or brown lentils. Unlike split and hulled masoor dal, which is typically orange or pink, whole masoor retains its skin and a firmer texture when cooked.

With an earthy, mildly nutty flavour and satisfying texture, whole masoor dal is a staple in Indian cooking. It is particularly suited to hearty dals and curries, where the lentils are simmered with onion, tomato and aromatic spices until tender. The finished dish pairs naturally with basmati rice, roti, chapati or naan, making this a versatile pantry ingredient for everyday meals as well as professional kitchens.
