The mild-flavored toor dal goes well with many flavors, including curry, coconut, ginger, onion, and turmeric. In addition to serving the pulse as a source of protein in a main meal, toor dal is also used to make sweets and snacks, such as dal halwa (a dense, moist, sweet confection) and paruppa vada (type of fritter).
