Versatile Usage: Because of their mealy texture, our pigeon peas are the perfect accompaniment to vegetables like spinach, string beans, tomatoes and hearty greens. In India, every region has its own variation of this dal with different seasonal vegetables like spinach dal, fenugreek dal or sambar stew. No wonder toor dal is so widely used in India – and will soon become a staple in your home, too!
Unique Benefits: Highly nutritious and easy on the stomach, toor dal are some of the most popular beans you will ever taste! Enjoy substantial portions of the low-calorie yet so filling dal.

Their fibrous content may be helpful to avoid constipation, whilst their carbs give you extra energy. They are also a good source of folic acid and dietary fibre. A cup full of Schani’s toor dal brings you a good amount of folic acid, dietary fibre and protein. You love working out? Then you should have them boiled after your workout to reap the benefits!
Cooking Time: Soak our pigeon peas for about 30 minutes up to four hours. Cook them in an instant pot for 8 minutes, and five whistles in your pressure cooker. Please note that all beans and peas need to be washed and rinsed thoroughly under running water prior to cooking.
Fun Fact: Toor dal came to be called ‘Pigeon Pea’ by the British. They thought poorly about Indian pulses as sources of protein, since they mostly consumed meat for protein. So the English named the dal after the animals who seemed to like them – pigeons. Yet we are happy that Indians kept enjoying their pigeon peas in tasty, flavourful dishes – we would not want to miss them now!
Storage: Like any dried bean, toor dal should be kept in an airtight, dry container in the pantry or another cool, dark spot.
Schani’s journey of providing wholesome authentic Indian food over 30 years
What fueled us?
Schani stands for authentic flavours and aromatic spices – let us take you on a culinary journey to India! Bringing its authentic flavour to Europe is at the core of your mission. Why? Because the founding family Bhandari sorely missed the essence of traditional, wholesome Indian meals when they moved to Germany in the 1980s. This longing led to the idea of introducing Indian groceries and authentic recipes from India to their new homeland, Germany.
The family business worked under the brand name Schani to bring you hyper-local flavours from South Asia. With it, the Bhandari family and other Indian families found a piece of their motherland – and fans of this sensational cuisine got the Indian food experience in its full glory!
