Choose from whole masoor options like Fortune Unpolished Masoor Malka Big, Tata Sampann Unpolished Masoor - Whole, Daily Good Unpolished Masoor Black Whole (500 g or 1 kg), Sri Bhagyalakshmi Masoor Dal, and Kedia Pavitra Masoor Dal, or split versions like Tata Sampann Masoor Dal - Split, Tata Sampann Unpolished Split Masoor Dal, Tata Sampann Unpolished Kali Masoor Dal, and Daily Good Unpolished Masoor Dal.

Whole masoor (also called masoor malka or black masoor) keeps its brown skin and holds its shape better in cooking, while split masoor dal has the skin removed and cooks faster into a soft, orange-red mixture typically used for everyday dal. Unpolished varieties retain more of the natural bran layer compared to polished dal.
