Pulse of India? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'pulse' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'india?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dal that I've seen before include "Indian pulse puree" , "Pigeon pea" , "Indian dish of pulses" .)
