Black Dal, also known as Dal Makhani, is a creamy and flavorful lentil dish from Indian cuisine, particularly popular in Punjabi dishes. It is made primarily from whole black lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans, simmered with spices like cumin, turmeric, and coriander, then enriched with butter or cream for a rich texture. Tomatoes, garlic, and ginger are often included for depth of flavor. Black Dal is a nutritious source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium and iron. Its high fiber content supports digestive health, while lentils and beans provide sustained energy. However, its calorie content can increase due to the added butter or cream, making moderation key for those monitoring fat intake. Black Dal is ideal as a nutritious and satisfying dish when paired with rice or flatbread in a balanced meal.
