The lentil (Lens culinaris or Lens esculenta) is an edible legume known for its lens-shaped seeds.
Indian pulses are usually available in three types: the whole pulse, (sabut), the split pulse with the skins on, (chilka dal) or the split pulse without the skin, (dhuli dal).

Sabut simply means "whole". Dal means "split" with or without the skin. Chilka means with skin & dhuli means without skin.

For example, split (sabut) urad beans are urad dal, split sabut masoor beans are masoor dal.

    Recipe Mujadara with Charred Cabbage

    Mudjadara* is a lovely comfort food from the Middle-East. It reminds me of Indian Kitchiri which is claimed to be the origin of British Kedgeree.
