Mannkattiya Thovarai

Experience the wholesome tradition of Mannvasanai’s Mannkattiya Thovarai, a cherished variety of toor dal (split pigeon peas) that has been naturally sun-dried and stored in traditional earthen pots. This method of preservation not only retains the dal’s natural flavors but also enhances its nutritional value, making it a healthy choice for your everyday meals.

• Benefits:
  Mannkattiya Thovarai is rich in protein, essential amino acids, and dietary fiber, making it a vital source of nutrition for a balanced diet. It supports muscle growth, aids in digestion, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. The traditional sun-drying and storage methods help preserve the dal’s natural nutrients and bring out its authentic taste, offering a more wholesome and flavorful experience compared to conventionally processed dals.
• Usage Tips:
  Mannkattiya Thovarai is ideal for making a variety of South Indian dishes, including sambars, rasams, and dal curries. To cook, rinse the dal thoroughly and soak it for 15-30 minutes before cooking to reduce cooking time and enhance its texture. Use it as a base for rich, flavorful sambars or as an accompaniment to rice and rotis. The earthy taste of this traditionally processed dal will elevate your everyday meals.
• Storage Tips:
  Store Mannkattiya Thovarai in an airtight container to maintain its freshness. Keep it in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. The traditional earthen pot storage method is ideal, but a standard airtight container works well too.
