Indian Dals Names

Indian Dals Names - List of legumes and pulses names in hindi and english  | Vegan Richa

Depending on where you buy the Dals, Spices and pantry ingredients from, they might use just the English names, both English and Hindi names, or just the Hindi/Indian names (eg. in Indian stores). English names sometimes also depend on the country or shop (for eg yellow lentils can mean any of the yellow dals, but in the US in mostly petite yellow lentils are used for Mung dal(split mung bean)). Take a picture of the Grocery list from Page 12 in my book to take with you while shopping. It has both the English and Hindi names and variation of the names mentioned to make it easy to find the right spice, herb or dal!

This Page is a short Guide with the commonly used Legumes -Dals, Pulses, Lentils, beans, peas in Indian Cuisine with their common English names and Hindi names.

Indian Dal Names in Hindi and English. Glossary of Lentils, legumes, beans. | Vegan Richa

Legumes and Dals

English/ Hindi Indian Dals Names

Black Eyed Peas – Raungi, Chawli, Lobhia

Black Gram Lentils, Split and skinned – Urad Dal 

Black Gram Whole – black gram lentils – Sabut Urad (these are not black beans, not beluga lentils, not caviar black lentils). They look like black mung beans. 

Chickpeas, Brown  (Bengal Gram)- Kala Chana

Chickpeas, green – Cholia / Hara Chana

Chickpeas, split – (Split Bengal gram, split brown chickpeas) , Chana Dal 

Chickpeas, white – Garbanzo Beans, Kabuli Chana, Safed Chana,  Chole

Kidney Beans, red – Rajma

Lentils, brown (whole) – Sabut Masoor

Lentils, Red/orange/pink (split brown lentils) – Masoor Dal

Lentils, yellow petite – (Split Mung Beans) – Mung Dal

Mung Beans (green gram whole) – Hare Moong

Pigeon Peas, split – Arhar, Tuvar, Toor 

Yellow split Peas

 

Common Substitutes

Split chickpeas (Chana Dal), split pigeon peas(Toor Dal) and Split peas can be used interchangeably. Toor dal will cook faster than the others.

Red Lentils (Masoor Dal) can be used instead of Petite yellow lentils (Mung Dal). Mung Dal will take a few minutes longer to cook through. 

Mung Beans and Lentils can also be used interchangeably. Soak mung beans before use. 

Green Lentils can be used to substitute brown lentils

 

*Chickpea flour and Besan 

Chickpea flour in the US is generally ground white chickpeas. Besan is ground brown chickpeas (Kala chana, bengal gram). See the different chickpeas in the picture above. Besan is also ground finer than chickpea flour. Because of these differences, chickpea flour generally makes a thicker batter and needs more water to achieve the similar consistency as besan batter if the recipe was written for besan. The reverse applies to recipes written for chickpea flour. In general this does not matter much and both can be used interchangeably in recipes. However, if used in baking you might need to adjust the liquid accordingly.

I have a dal recipe from Rick Stein’s India where he calls for yellow tur dal or chana dal. Could I use yellow split peas? Thank you. I have now liked your FB page too.

    Hi Richa,

    Are yellow split peas commonly used in India? I thought they may be labelled as some type of ‘dhal’ but it doesn’t appear to be the case as you point out in your excellent guide.
    I purchased a bag of yellow split peas as they were very cheap – $1.55 for a kg bag, here in Australia. That’s much cheaper than all of the other dried legumes I regularly buy – and recently lentils have increase in price. Mostly I use whole chickpeas and whole brown or red lentils (also called black lentils here) but will try the yellow peas for a change.

    Reply
    • Richa says

      December 13, 2016 at 8:51 pm

      No there are no yellow split peas as fas as i know. There are many specific split peas that are yellow in color like the toor dal (split pigeon pea), chana dal (split chickpea ) , vatana (dried green pea, whole or split), safed vatana ( split white pea) etc. You can use split yellow peas to sub any of these. the cooking times are similar for the split pea family.

    Hi Richa
    Shared infos are good.
    However, since i m from Malaysia, I have some confusion on the definition of lentils and legumes here. Designation being used are in Hindi and English which is very confusing.
    Seeking your expertise advise.

    1. What is the different between GOTA and DAL? If i understood well, URAD is whole peas while DAL is in split form. Is that correct?

    2. What are BEANS in Hindi?

    3. What are PEAS in Hindi?

    Reply
    • Richa says

      November 19, 2017 at 12:12 pm

      Gota is the whole lentil that is has its skin removed. So for ural, there is whole urad which is the whole black matpe beans, then urad gota, which is the beans with no skin (so beige matpe beans), ural dal is the split version which can be with or without skin.

      Beans generally have names for each type in hindi. Kidney beans are rajma, moong beans are mooong etc.

      Peas are matar in hindi. so hara matar (green peas), safed matar ( white peas) etc

    Holy smokes, as we sometimes say. You are very helpful. I would love it if you would give is Hindi lessons, Richa. I am becoming more and more fascinated with India. Actually, I have been fascinated all my life since I could read. Have you read any books by Neel Mukherjee? I recently discovered his books. I just finished “A Life Apart,” and have just started “The Lives of Others.” Wow! When one is reading big family books about India, one needs a family tree to refer to. The same with “A suitable Boy,” which I have not finished because it’s quite a “wade” through. I have started it twice but now my attention is distracted by Neel. All the same, Vikram Seth is a wonderful writer! So….I got here because I needed to know if yellow split peas are OK for your “Spiced Indian Lentil Soup” I found on Facebook today. I am going to go start that “soup” right now even though I want to go back to my book instead. Your cookbook is arriving tomorrow, just in time for my birthday. I hope it will help me with the constant dilemma of “what to make for dinner?” We have been eating plant based for about two years and we sometimes get pretty repetitive with what we prepare and eat for dinner. Thanks for your hard work writing it!

    Thank you for this resource, it’s been so helpful! If a recipe calls for the split version of a pulse and I just have the whole one on hand (right now I have whole mung bean & the recipe says mung dal for example), how would I adjust amounts & cooking times?

    Reply
    • Richa says

      September 3, 2018 at 11:33 am

      whole pulses take longer to cook and need more water/liquid. It would depend on the recipe. Dals or soups might work but recipes like kitchari where there is rice with the dal etc will not work as the rice would overcook with the additional time for the whole pulses.
      i should add a general cooking time table to this page.

    Thanks! This was helpful. I just bought more chana dal and when I got home I saw that I had a jar labeled toor dal and that it looked similar to the chana dal so I thought I had perhaps labeled it incorrectly.

    I want to do a recipe (Masala Lamb & Lentils) that uses 1/2 cup split gram lentils (soaked for 6 hours), or substitute split yellow peas. I couldn’t get either in my small town store. Is there any other substitution I could make instead?

    Hello! I find that the names of the different dals can be very confusing. Today I went to our local Indian grocery and bought a bag of Masoor Dal. When I got home, I saw that I had mistakenly bought “Masoor Malka” My question: Is MASOOR MALKA simply red Masoor Dal that has no skin, and is not split?
    Is it cooked just like split Masoor Dal? I see “Sabut Masoor” on your list, but I believe that has the brown skin attached. Below the Sabut Masoor on your list is “Masoor Dal”, but you describe all Masoor Dal as “split”. Could you tell me something about Masoor Malka? It does not look split. Thank you!

      Yes Malka is not split. Dal is split and has no skin. Malka has no skin but is not split, sabut is whole lentil ie. not skinned, not split. Malka version is not used as commonly as dal and sabut versions.
      Cooking time wise, the Dal will cook the fastest, within 11 mins in a saucepan. Malka takes 18-20 mins, Whole lentils take 30 to 45 mins in a saucepan depending on their age etc. You can use Malka in recipes that call for dal. Just cook a bit longer.
      I’ll add Malka pics eventually.

        Thank you so much, Richa … your reply was very clear. I tried out the masoor malka and it was nutty and delicious. After about 35 minutes soaking (it was making some strange crackling noises as it soaked and increased in volume) it cooked on the stovetop in about 20 minutes – just as you said!

    Hi,

    Good evening!

    This post is wonderful!

    Still, I have a confusion I would like to know Is “Red gram and Toor dal is the same name or both are different pulses because yesterday, I went to the supermarket and asked about RED GRAM dal. but, they said to take “TOOR DAL”

    Kindly explain in this regard.

    I look forward seeing your reply comment.

      Red gram is the whole form of toor dal. Also called pigeon pea. The pigeon peas that are whole and not skinned are red in color. They are skinned and split to make toor dal. Like how sabut masoor is brown and and masoor dal is pink.

    All these names are so confusing.
    I think this difference is because of different region.
    Some time it’s Gram and sometimes Lentils

    Well I was searching for Moong/ Moong Daal’s English names.
    Result is Green Lentils\Green Gram.
    Sorry for bad English.

      thanks. They are all different beans, most of those pics are already there. some beans like black beans are not native to india although now they are available. But there are no traditional indian recipes that use them

    Great post on the different types of dal. In the beginning, I was not able to understand the content clearly but when I started reading your post with the help of your image it will help me a lot to identify the different types of dal.

    You have thoroughly explained the different types of Indian dal which clearly differentiate each other. Moreover, I am planing to buy your book and a little bit excited to know about more interesting stuff.

    Thank you.
