Chora

The word chora (चोर) actually means, "thief/swindler." ❋ Unknown (2010)

Timaeus space-in-the-making, that is, space in its cosmogonic nascency and formation, is called chora ❋ SALOMON BOCHNER (1968)

The first of its domestic enemies was Naga, the grandson of the pious Walagam-bahu, whom the native, historians stigmatise by the prefix of "chora" or the "marauder." ❋ James Emerson Tennent (1836)

Never heard of chora dal but it is interesting how dhoklas adapt themselves to various ingredients. ❋ Cardamom (2008)

Sia said ... never heard of chora dal. got to do little research on that. i am huge fan of ur dhoklas (donno hw many times i already mentioned it;) and next time i am planning to make it with cornmeal. ❋ Cardamom (2008)

Typically, if the recipe calls for soaking chora daal for 4-6 hours, it would be ready to grind where as toor daal would need some more soaking time. ❋ Meera (2009)

The main difference between toor daal and chora daal is soaking time. but here, since all the daals are soaked overnight, I think it should work ok. ❋ Meera (2009)

Does one need to theorise the gap/space between objects - if such there is - in terms of a boundary e.g. chora/chasm? ❋ Tusar N Mohapatra (2009)

Method 1. Soak the chora daal in adequate water for 3-4 hours. ❋ Meera (2008)

So please label the container in which you store this daal, to avoid having to eat chora daal idlis! ❋ Meera (2008)

I served with chora na pooda - which is a Gujarati dosa with red chowli daal. ❋ Meera (2008)

Gujarati pantries are stocked with the vadis made from mag ni daal (yellow moong daal) or chora ni daal (cowpeas daal). ❋ Meera (2008)

It is white in color and used extensively in Gujarati cuisine for making special pooda, chora na dhokla etc. ❋ Meera (2008)

I indeed had picked up this daal, but doubted it to be urad daal on closer look n had kept it away...now that you broke the suspense of what chora daal is, I can easily buy it and refer this page! ❋ Meera (2008)

For garlic, I thought, in this dosa post, though it is garlic flavored, I talk more about chora daal than garlic. ❋ Meera (2008)
