Masoor Daal
A classic. Healthy and delicious red lentil daal made with light, earthy spices.
Daal is a classic staple across South Asian dinner tables. Think of it as a delicious foundation you can add anything to: rice, veggies, tofu or even some extra protein. Eat it as a main or a side, this legume is packed with protein and fiber.
- Masoor Daal: Red lentils are a quick-cooking legume with a mild, subtly sweet flavor.
- Curry Leaf: Nutty Aroma
- Turmeric: Earthy and bitter, almost musky, with a bit of peppery spice
- Coriander Seed: Citrus and curry, light and sweet (the seeds are fun to crunch on, too)

KEY INGREDIENTS
WHY WE LOVE IT

RED LENTILS
These are tiny, reddish-orange legumes that cook quickly, making them perfect for an easy, healthy dinner. The flavor is mild, earthy, and slightly sweet.

TURMERIC
An incredible spice with anti-inflammatory properties and boosts immunity. It adds an earthy taste with a hint of sweetness to the Daal.

CORIANDER Seed
Fun to crunch on and improves digestion. These add a light and bright citrus note to the Daal with a touch of nuttiness.

Curry Leaf (or Kari Patta)
The sister plant to the bay leaf, but unlike the bay leaf, the curry leaf is fully edible! It’s hand-sifted in our Daal so it retains the most flavor in the your final dish.
- High in antioxidants.
- Rich in B vitamins, magnesium, iron, and zinc.
- Low glycemic index and can aid in lowering glucose levels.
- Significantly lower carbon footprint than animal protein sources.
HOW TO COOK?
1
Pour Paro Packet and 3 cups of water in a medium-sized pan.
2
Boil and cook for 20-25 minutes of cooking until lentils are tender.
3
Add more water for a soup-y texture.
Add a pinch of salt. Stir and serve.

paro TIP
Add fresh lemon juice, garlic or cilantro. Add a dollop of yogurt to tone down the spice but we like to eat ours with one tablespoon of the Paro Tarka.
