Red Split Lentils (Massor Dal)
The lentil (Lens culinaris) a type of pulse is a bushy annual plant of the legume family, known for its lens-shaped seeds. Quick to cook and very delicious, red lentils are known to absorb the flavor of spices. People who do not eat meat must consume lentils as it provides them with the required protein that is present in meats. A major part of the world’s red lentil production undergoes a secondary processing step. These lentils are dehulled, split and polished. In the Indian subcontinent, this process is called dhal milling. The moisture content of the lentils prior dehulling is crucial to guarantee a good dehulling efficiency. The hull of lentils usually accounts for 6 to 7 percent of the total seed weight, which is lower than most legumes. Lentil flour can be produced by milling the seeds, like cereals.
