Yes, toor dal and thuvaram parupu are the same lentil, also known as pigeon pea. “Thuvaram parupu” is the Tamil term commonly used in South Indian households, while “toor dal” is widely used across India. Both refer to the same ingredient used for sambar and other dals.

Toor dal is considered very good for health because it is rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates and essential minerals like iron and potassium. Regular consumption supports muscle health, better digestion and sustained energy. It is also naturally low in fat and suitable for balanced daily diets.

Both toor dal and moong dal are healthy, but they serve slightly different needs. Toor dal has a stronger flavour and is ideal for sambar and hearty curries, offering more bite and richness. Moong dal is lighter, easier to digest and often preferred for khichdi or simple, soothing dishes.

For many Indian households, toor dal is among the best dals for daily use because it makes versatile dishes like sambar, dal fry and gravies. It offers a good balance of protein, fiber and taste. Rotating it with moong, masoor and chana dal can provide varied nutrition throughout the week.

Toor dal is generally easy to digest for most people, especially when properly rinsed, soaked and cooked until soft. Adding turmeric, cumin, asafoetida or ginger while cooking can further aid digestion. Those with sensitive digestion should start with smaller portions and observe how their body responds.
