Mixed pulses
Mixed pulses as the name suggests are a combination of different lentils and pulses such as red lentils, black gram, split green gram, Bengal gram, etc. Mixed Pulses form an important source of protein and iron for vegetarians. They also take on the flavours of other ingredients extremely well - whether it's a heady mix of garlic and ginger in Indian dhal or the meaty flavour of sausage in a typically Andalusian stew of chickpeas and pork.
