Tuar Dal

Pigeon peas, scientifically known as Cajanus cajan, are a type of legume native to Asia and Africa. They're also known as arhar dal, toor dal, or split pigeon peas. Pigeon peas are a good source of protein, dietary fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. They're commonly used in Indian cuisine, especially in dals, curries, and soups. Pigeon peas are also cultivated as a rotational crop due to their nitrogen-fixing properties, which benefit soil fertility.
