Most veggie/vegan natural stores sell it. Just a dried protein. A slight generic flavour to it like cereal. It absorbs flavour from your sauces or marinades. Here it is about $8-$12 for a bag that will last quite a few meals. But we found an Indian grocery story that sells it as Soya Wadi and its only about $3 per bag. Same stuff. Either in big chunks or ground up into ground beef size bits.
Goes well into tacos, chilli, shephards pie, etc.
Daal mostly depends on what you cook with it, besides the lentil themselves, like a tomato based sauce, yogurt, lemon, etc.
The black lentils stay the firmest and have texture after cooking, the red lentils will cook down to a paste…and there are a ton of other types.
