<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Someone on the list had a question on Dal that she had purchased from an Indian store. I can't find the email to respond personally and apologize for sending this to the list. Perhaps someone else can use the information. Tuver-ni-dal -- split pigeon peas Chana dal -- split chickpeas Tuver -- pigeon peas (these spoil easily) Urad dal -- whole black beans Mung dal -- whole green beans Chola dal -- blackeyed peas Lal chola dal -- red blackeyed peas Dals require storing in glass jars in plastic containers with tight lids. Flour chana flour -- garbanzo bean flour bajri (millet) flour (Bajri flour should be bought fresh and used quickly. Any flour leftover should be refrigerated.) This is from a cookbook called "A Surti Touch - Adventures in Indian Cooking" by Malvi Doshi. It is out of print. Hope this answers the questions. Mary
