About Arahar dal

Arahar Dal, also known as Toor Dal or pigeon peas, is a staple in Indian cuisine, particularly in South Indian and North Indian households. Known for its mild, nutty flavor, this lentil is commonly used in soups, curries, and stews, often paired with spices and vegetables to create nutrient-packed dishes. Arahur Dal is rich in protein, dietary fiber, folate, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium, making it an excellent source of plant-based nutrition for vegetarians and vegans. It supports digestive health, helps stabilize blood sugar levels, and contributes to sustained energy release. Low in fat and free from cholesterol, it aligns with heart-healthy diets. While highly nutritious, dishes prepared with excessive oil or cream can reduce its health benefits, so preparation styles are key. Its versatility and health credentials make it a nourishing ingredient in balanced meals.
