Toor dal is a perennial legume that belongs to the Fabaceae family, which is also known as pigeon pea or split pigeon pea, arhar dal or red gram dal. Tracing its root to the Indian subcontinent at least 3500 years ago, this lentil had been the main food in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Known for its mild, nutty flavour and smooth texture, Toor Dal is also called Arhar Dal or Tuvar Dal in different regions. A popular choice for this Dal is Aashirvaad Organic Tur/Arhar Dal, which is sourced from organic farms and packed with nutrition. This daal is commonly used in dishes like Sambar and Gujarati Daal. Archaeologists discovered more than 5400 year old toor dal seeds in their finds in the Deccan plateau. These established that toor dal originated in India. From India, traders carried this tasty lentil to Africa. Europeans started consuming it and called it the Congo Pea!
