Buy Indian Lentils & Beans Online — Dal, Rajma & Chana
Lentils and beans — dal, rajma and chana — are the protein backbone of Indian home cooking, and GoDirect stocks the full pulse aisle for same-day delivery across the Greater Toronto Area. From everyday toor (arhar) dal and moong dal to masoor and urad, you will find both whole (sabut) and split, skinned (dhuli) varieties for whatever is going on the stove tonight.
Every region eats its dal differently, and the shelf is built for that. A Punjabi kitchen leans on urad whole and rajma for a slow dal makhani; a Rajasthani panchmel dal baati wants five dals in one pot; down south, toor dal is the base of sambar and rasam; in Bengal and the east, masoor and moong turn into a light everyday dal. Rajma (kidney beans) comes in dark, chitra, light and Jammu varieties, alongside kabuli chana (white chickpeas), kala chana (black chickpeas), lobia (black-eyed peas) and moth beans.
Shop trusted names like Aman's, Sher, Nutrela, Bambino, PTI and Asian, with certified-organic pulses from NatureLand Organics. For high-protein vegetarian cooking we also carry soya chunks, mini chunks and granules. Most lentils and beans come in handy 2 lb and 4 lb packs, with 7 lb bulk sizes on popular staples so you can stock up for a big family or a festival.
New to buying dal? Whole pulses (sabut, like whole masoor or moong) keep their skin and shape and suit curries and sprouting, while split, skinned dals (dhuli) cook faster and turn soft and creamy for an everyday tadka dal or khichdi. Rajma, kabuli chana and kala chana are best soaked overnight before cooking; most split dals are not. Toor dal is the go-to for sambar and daily dal, chana dal for tadka and snacks, urad for dal makhani and idli-dosa batter, and moong for light, comforting meals.
Whatever is on your grocery list — dal, rajma, chana, lobia or soya — GoDirect delivers it fresh to your door, same day across the GTA. Store your pulses in a cool, dry, airtight container and they will stay good for months.
Frequently asked questions
Which dal do I need for Punjabi dal makhani?
Dal makhani is built on whole black urad with a handful of rajma for body. Soak Aman's Urad Whole (or Urad Whole 2lbs (Maa Di Dal) - PTI, the same maa di dal by its Punjabi name) overnight with a little Aman's Rajma Chitra, pressure-cook until the grains collapse, then finish low and slow with a tomato-ginger-garlic base, butter and cream. The long, patient simmer is what gives it the texture — there is no shortcut.
What goes into a Rajasthani panchmel dal for dal baati churma?
Panchmel means five dals in one pot — traditionally chana, toor (arhar), moong, urad and masoor in roughly equal parts. You can build it from Aman's Chana Dal, Aman's Toor Dal, Aman's Moong Dal, Aman's Urad Dal and Aman's Masar Dal, or start from Aman's Mix Dal. Cook them together until soft, then finish with a ghee chhonk of jeera, hing and red chilli poured over the top.
Which rajma should I buy for rajma-chawal?
For a classic Punjabi rajma-chawal, small dark or chitra beans hold their shape and thicken the gravy — try Aman's Rajma Dark or Aman's Rajma Chitra. Cooks who like a smaller, softer bean that melts into the masala usually reach for Aman's Jammu Rajma. Soak overnight, pressure-cook with a pinch of salt, then mash a few beans into the gravy so it clings to the rice.
Which dal is used for South Indian sambar?
Toor dal (arhar) is the standard base for sambar and rasam across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra. Aman's Toor Dal and Sher Toor Daal both cook down to the soft, pourable consistency sambar needs. Cook it plain first, then add tamarind, vegetables and your sambar powder at the end.
What pack sizes are available, and do you carry organic pulses?
Most lentils and beans come in 2 lb and 4 lb packs, with 7 lb bulk sizes on many staples for large families and functions. We also stock certified-organic pulses — organic chana dal, masur dal, green moong whole, urad split and urad whole black — alongside everyday brands such as Aman's, Sher, Nutrela and PTI.
Do you deliver dal, rajma and chana same-day in the GTA?
Yes. GoDirect offers same-day delivery across the Greater Toronto Area — add your lentils and beans to the cart and choose an available delivery slot for your city at checkout.
