Lentils
Lentils, a type of legume, are the basis of many Indian recipes including dhal. Unlike other legumes, lentils do not need to be presoaked as they cook relatively quickly. Split lentils (red and yellow) tend to disintegrate to a thick puree once cooked, whereas whole lentils (brown and green) remain intact during cooking.
