Why this toor dal?
We selected this toor dal after considering the place it came from, the growing conditions surrounding the crop, its physical character and, importantly, the way it performs in the kitchen.
Because provenance means very little if the food itself isn't exceptional.
It begins with a place.
The finest toor dal is defined by where and how it is grown—thriving in well-drained, mineral-rich soils under the warm, semi-arid climate. These conditions encourage deep rooting and steady growth, resulting in dense grains with a natural golden hue and rich flavour. We source a unique traditional variety, known for its superior taste and overall quality, from an exclusive farmer collective in UP. Grown from carefully selected seeds, the dal develops a distinct nuttiness and cooks evenly, while minimal processing helps retain its natural oils and nutrients.
