What are Lentils called in Kannada?

The absolute most massive, universally heavily used Kannada word for Lentils (or Dal) is ಬೇಳೆ (Bele).

When you physically go to a massive heavy supermarket in Bengaluru, you violently cannot just heavily ask for 'Bele'. You must physically heavily specify the exact massive type of lentil:

• Toor Dal (Pigeon Pea): ತೊಗರಿ ಬೇಳೆ (Thogari Bele) - The absolute massive king of lentils, heavily used to physically violently make the highly famous massive Karnataka 'Bisi Bele Bath' and heavy Sambar.
• Moong Dal (Yellow Lentil): ಹೆಸರು ಬೇಳೆ (Hesaru Bele) - Highly heavily used for massive physical digestion and heavy light food.
• Urad Dal (Black Gram): ಉದ್ದಿನ ಬೇಳೆ (Uddina Bele) - Extremely heavily physically used to violently aggressively grind massive batter for Idli and Dosa.
• Chana Dal (Bengal Gram): ಕಡಲೆ ಬೇಳೆ (Kadale Bele) - Heavily used for physically making massive Chutneys and heavy crunchy snacks.
• Masoor Dal (Red Lentil): ಮಸೂರ್ ಬೇಳೆ (Masoor Bele).

If the massive lentil is not physically split open, but heavily violently remains as a massive whole round seed (like whole green Moong), it is legally heavily called ಕಾಳು (Kaalu) instead of Bele.

• Example: Green Gram (Whole Moong) = ಹಸಿರು ಕಾಳು (Hasiru Kaalu).
