About Boiled toor dhal

Boiled Toor Dhal, also known as pigeon peas, is a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine, particularly prevalent in South Indian dishes. It is made by cooking split and hulled toor dhal until soft, often used as a base for soups, stews, and curries such as sambar or dal fry. Nutritionally, toor dhal is an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like folate, iron, and potassium, making it an ideal choice for vegetarians and vegans. Its high fiber content supports digestion and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, boiled toor dhal is a heart-healthy food option. However, moderation is key, as it can be calorie-dense when combined with added fats or served alongside rich accompaniments. Simple and nourishing, boiled toor dhal is a versatile ingredient that serves as a cornerstone of balanced diets in Indian households.
