About Afghan daal

Afghan Daal is a hearty and aromatic dish rooted in the rich culinary traditions of Afghanistan. Made primarily from lentils, this dish incorporates a blend of warm spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander, along with garlic, onion, and tomatoes for a depth of flavor. Often enjoyed with naan or rice, it is a staple of Afghan cuisine, celebrated for its simplicity and nutritional value. Lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like folate and iron, making Afghan Daal a healthy choice for heart health, digestion, and energy. Typically low in fat, the dish can be tailored to dietary preferences by moderating added oils or garnishes. However, pairing it with refined rice or bread may increase calorie content, depending on portion sizes. Perfect for vegetarians and those seeking satisfying, wholesome meals, Afghan Daal captures the essence of balanced and comforting food.
