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.
