Frequently Asked Questions

What is moth split dal? Moth split dal is dried moth beans (matki) that have been split for easier cooking. It retains the earthy, slightly bitter flavor characteristic of whole moth beans.

How does split moth dal differ from whole moth beans? Split moth dal cooks in roughly half the time and has a softer texture after cooking. Both share a similar nutritional profile.

Can split moth dal be sprouted? Sprouting is more effective with whole moth beans. Split dal may still produce small tails after soaking but is more suited to direct cooking.
