Heera Masoor Gota 500g

£1.69

Prices checked

Masoor Gota is best known for classic red lentil dal, a staple in everyday home cooking. This pack contains whole red lentils, still in their skins, from the Beans & Pulses range at Ambas Foods, in a 500g bag. Whole masoor gota holds its shape better than split red lentils once cooked, giving dal a slightly firmer bite. Cooks use it in masoor dal, hearty lentil soups and thick vegetable curries where a bit of texture is welcome. It also works well added to stews and one-pot rice dishes, soaking up spices and stock as it simmers. Rinse the lentils well before cooking to remove any dust. Soaking for a short while beforehand can shorten the cooking time and helps the lentils cook through evenly. Simmer gently until tender, stirring occasionally so they do not stick to the base of the pan. Once opened, keep the lentils in a sealed, airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard. Stored this way, they will keep well for use across several meals, making this pack a practical store-cupboard staple for regular dal and lentil-based cooking.
