Each kit comes with easy step-by-step instructions, but here’s the overview:
Masoor Dal (red lentils) & Sambar Dal (pigeon pea lentils): Dice and sauté an onion in a little oil until soft. Add chopped tomato and cook until tender. Stir in the Mouma’s spice blend. Add the lentils, then water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Follow the cooking time on your kit—it’s different for each variety. (For Sambar Dal, soak the lentils before cooking.)
Moong Dal (yellow lentils): Skip the onion. Sauté chopped tomato in a little oil until soft. Add the spice blend, then lentils and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for the time listed on your kit.
All Mouma’s meals are 100% plant-based. Masoor Dal and Moong Dal are naturally gluten-free. Sambar Dal contains ingredients that are not gluten-free.
Not exactly—our lentils are dried, so they need to be cooked from scratch. Think of it like making chili or stew: start with fresh aromatics (onion and/or tomato depending on the variety), add spices, then lentils and water. Let it all simmer together until tender.
Our kits are family-sized:
Masoor Dal – about 5 servings
Moong Dal – about 4 servings
Sambar Dal – about 4 servings
Masoor Dal – flavorful, not spicy
Moong Dal – flavorful, not spicy
Sambar Dal – mildly spicy with a peppery kick
Absolutely! Try spinach, carrots, cauliflower, peas, or green beans. You can also stir in cooked chicken, tofu, shrimp, or boiled eggs for extra protein.
Yes, you can adapt the recipe for these methods. We recommend using the sauté function for onion/tomato/spices first, then cooking the lentils under pressure until tender. Since exact times can vary by appliance and variety, check your appliance’s lentil cooking guidelines.
Keep them in a cool, dry pantry. Once cooked, store leftovers in the fridge and enjoy within 3–4 days.
Yes! Every blend is inspired by recipes from Sruti’s grandmother (“Mouma”) and brings the flavors of traditional Indian home cooking into your kitchen — with none of the guesswork.
We offer free shipping on all orders over $40 (US only).
