Hi. You may be able to boil Toor Dal in the rice cooker. I am not very sure about it though, haven't tried it before. Also I am thinking it may become soft but may be not mashy like in the pressure cooker

OK DONE. It turned out yummy !!! my only concern was that this is the first time I didn't wash the daal prior to cooking..makes me a little nervous. What if we wash the daal prior to frying?
