Steam cooking / Universal

Dried pulses

Pulses swell during cooking and need to be cooked in liquid.

The ratio of pulses to liquid should be 1:3.

Soak pulses for at least 10 hours in cold water before cooking. Soaking makes the pulses more digestible and shortens the cooking duration required.

Exception: Lentils do not need to be soaked before cooking.
