Dried pulses
Soak pulses for at least 10 hours in cold water before cooking. Soaking makes the
pulses more digestible and shortens the cooking duration required. Soaked pulses
must be covered with liquid during cooking.
Lentils do not need to be soaked before cooking.
With unsoaked pulses a certain ratio of pulses to liquid is required.
