Dali massor (or Masoor Dal) refers to red lentils, a staple in Indian cooking, known as small, quick-cooking, protein-rich pulses that are a great source of fiber, iron, and potassium, often used in comforting, healthy dishes like dal curry or with rice. There are whole brown (Sabut Masoor) and split red/orange (Masoor Dal) varieties, both common in kitchens for their ease of preparation and nutritional value.
