Ingredients and Composition

Barkat Mixed Lentils 500g is listed as mixed lentils. The individual lentil varieties, their proportions and the full ingredient declaration have not been verified from the packaging. Check the supplied label for the exact composition, allergen and cross-contact information, origin and any dietary claims. Do not assume this mix contains a particular set of lentils or is certified gluten-free without checking the label.

How to Use

Check, Rinse and Prepare

Follow the preparation instructions on the pack. Sort through the lentils and remove any foreign material, then rinse well in clean water. Soaking requirements depend on the varieties in the mix, so use the label guidance or a recipe suitable for the stated ingredients rather than assuming that soaking is always needed.

Cook a Dal

Cook Barkat Mixed Lentils 500g with the amount of water specified on the pack or in a suitable recipe. Bring to the boil and cook as directed until every type of lentil is fully tender, adding hot water if needed. Cooking time varies with the composition, soaking and equipment. For pressure cooking, follow both the recipe and your appliance's instructions, including its limits for pulses and foaming foods.

Season and Serve

Add the spices, aromatics and other ingredients called for in your recipe. A separate tempering can be stirred into the cooked dal if desired. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving with rice or flatbread. For soups or stews, use a recipe that allows enough time for all the lentils to cook thoroughly. Do not eat the lentils raw or undercooked.

Storage

Store the unopened pack in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. After opening, reseal securely or transfer to a clean, airtight food container. Keep away from moisture and strong odours, use dry utensils and follow the best-before date and any storage instructions on the packaging.
