Just a little background adding context. Dal is most associated with the foods of India. Hindu's have developed an incredible cuisine based on what we would call lacto-ovo, basically no meat. Dal can be either soupy or thick enough to be eaten with chapati bread (flour tortillas cousin). Tear off a piece of bread, scoop up some spicy Dal and pop into your mouth. I have included a great web site to check out.

when skinned, is white and used in three very "big" dishes in combination with rice: one is iddli, a steamed rice & lentil cake served in the morning with a savoury coconut chutney.... and at lunch time it is often made with herbs and peanuts and served with sambar, a savory soup ....
....another dish is called Dosa, a large flat pancake made with urad dal and rice, and often stuffed with curried vegetables (Masala Dosa) and served with coconut chutney.
Also, used in a third dish called Vada, like a savoury doughnut made with spices and chillies and served also with coconut chutney ...
