Masoor dal always breaks into a mush. It is just is what they do--it is because masoor dal is made by taking the hulls off of regular green or brown lentils. Once the skins are removed, exposing the red interior, there is nothing to keep the starch and proteins in the legume from breaking down once water and heat are added to the mixture. Christy–thank you.

I've just discovered dals and tarkas myself recently. A question: how do you keep masur dal from completely breaking down into mush? Or do you? Barbara,

I love getting people hooked into the farmer's markets where the best food for the money is. Suganya--green beans are great in dal-- I love the color, flavor and textural contrast. But then, they have always been a favorite vegetable of mine. I am glad to be an inspiration, effie and Nancy.
