What Makes Gujarati Dal Powder Unique? 

Gujarati dal is a tangy and slightly sweet lentil curry that stands out for its complex flavour profile. Unlike other dals, it includes jaggery (unrefined cane sugar) and tamarind to achieve its signature sweet-and-sour taste. Adding Gujarati dal masala powder ensures the perfect blend of spices, including mustard seeds, fenugreek and dried red chillies, to complement the dish's unique flavour. 

How to Use Dal Masala Powder in Cooking? 

  1. Gujarati Dal 
    Add Gujarati dal masala powder to cooked tuvar dal (pigeon peas), tamarind pulp, jaggery, and a tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves for an authentic flavour.
  2. Dal Tadka 
    Incorporate dal masala powder into lentils and finish with a tempering of garlic, onions and red chillies to create a hearty North Indian dal.
