Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare your dal by picking out any loose bits of sediment.

Optionally, if your dal isn’t pre-washed:

Step 2 – Rinse your dal under cool running water, and then leave them to dry on a towel until no longer wet to the touch.

Step 3 – Pour your dal onto a sheet tray in as close to a single layer as you can, and then transfer that into an oven set to 150 Fahrenheit, or as low as your oven is able to go.

Step 4 –  Dry the dal in the oven until they are brittle to the touch, and then transfer to a blender.

Optionally, if you have a dehydrator:

Step 5 – Arrange your dal in your dehydrator according to the manufacturer’s instruction, and dehydrate it on the “dried foods” or the “fruit” setting.

Step 6 – Pulse your dried dal into a fine powder, starting on low speed and moving up to medium speed, until it has a consistent texture.

Step 7 – Store your dal flour in a jar with a tightly fitting lid in the cupboard for up to 3 months.
