when following a recipe for dal, does it matter if the dal is whole or split? I know the cooking time may vary quite a lot, but can I use whole urid and moong beans in place of split? Once I have used up my whole dals I intend to buy split and polished from then on.

Hello Dean

Whole dals give a different taste and texrure to the split ones. Even split dals come 'with skin' or 'without skin', again giving different tastes. It doesn't matter which one you make, just as long as you know that you will get a different tasting dish with each one.

For cooking times, see here;

Whole Urad

Whole Moong
