Shan Dal Masala Mix is a spice blend formulated for cooking dal -- the everyday South Asian staple of spiced lentils that appears at nearly every meal. This dal masala features a balanced combination of cumin, turmeric, coriander, red chilli, and garam masala designed to transform plain boiled lentils into a richly flavoured, aromatic dal with genuine depth.

Each Shan packet contains a pre-measured lentil spice mix with cooking instructions suitable for any type of lentil. Shan is trusted across millions of kitchens worldwide for making everyday South Asian cooking consistent and delicious.

Use with masoor dal (red lentils) for a quick-cooking dal, chana dal for a thicker, heartier version, or a combination of lentils for more complexity. Cook the lentils until soft, then prepare a tarka (tempering) with oil, garlic, cumin seeds, and the spice mix, and stir it through the cooked dal. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and fresh coriander. Serve with steamed rice, roti, or naan for a complete, satisfying meal.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Unopened packets keep their full potency until the printed expiry date. Shan Dal Masala Mix is available from Hills Harvest alongside other bangladeshi spices and indian spices online australia -- halal grocery delivery across The Hills Shire, Blacktown, Parramatta, and Hawkesbury.
