Also known as: अरहर दाल
Cooked toor dal (arhar) is high in potassium (491 mg/100g) — one of the highest among dals — with significant phosphorus (192 mg/100g). For CKD stages 3-5 and dialysis, avoid or strictly limit toor dal. This is a common dal in South Indian cooking; moong dal is the safer swap.
Values are approximate, based on USDA FoodData Central and ICMR-NIN Indian Food Composition Tables. Actual values vary by variety, ripeness, serving size, and cooking method. The database rating is a general reference, not an individualized diet recommendation.
1/2 cup cooked (100g) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
