Toor lemon dal is a popular Indian dish made with toor dal (split pigeon peas) and lemon. It is a lentil-based curry that combines the nutty flavour of toor dal with the tanginess of lemon juice. To prepare toor lemon dal, the dal is cooked until soft and then tempered with spices such as mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, and dried red chilies. Finally, lemon juice is added to give it a refreshing and citrusy taste. It is typically served with rice or Indian breads like roti or naan. Toor lemon dal is not only flavourful but also nutritious, as it is rich in protein, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals.
