No matter what your taste is regarding pulses, one thing affects your pulses the most and that is the water added to the pulses. Let us tell you what difference it makes when adding cold water to dal and how it spoils the taste of your dal.
good source of protein
Lentils are a good source of protein for vegetarians. Pulses do not contain fat and are low-calorie. Besides, pulses give you plenty of minerals like antioxidants, potassium, calcium and zinc. When you cook pulses, there is often less water in the cooker. In such a situation, while adding pulses, water has to be added from above. But if you add cold water, it spoils the taste of your dal.
How is it affected?
When pulses are cooked, there is often less water in the cooker. In such a situation, water has to be poured on top while adding pulses. But if you add cold water then its taste gets reduced. The temperature of pulses cooked in gas is high, but when you add cold water to this pulse, the temperature of the water slows down the cooking process of pulses. Due to this it takes more time to cook the pulses.
