Lentils (Moshur), basically red lentils, refer to a particular variety of lentils commonly known as Masoor dal. These are split red lentils which are widely used all over the world, but they have a special place in South Asian cuisine. They are known for their quick cooking time and soft texture. They are rich in protein, fiber, and a good source of essential vitamins. So, including Masoor dal in our diet can contribute significantly to overall health and well-being.
