About Cooked dal
Cooked dal is a staple dish in Indian cuisine, made from lentils such as red, yellow, green, or black, often simmered with water and seasoned with spices like turmeric, cumin, and garlic. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium, dal is a nutritious addition to the diet, especially for vegetarians and vegans. Its low glycemic index makes it ideal for managing blood sugar levels, while the fiber supports digestive health. Dal is typically served with rice or bread, such as chapati or naan, making it a hearty and balanced meal. While it's generally healthy, some variations may include added ghee or butter, increasing the fat content. Opting for minimal oil and pairing it with vegetables boosts its nutritional value further. Known for its comforting flavor and adaptability, cooked dal remains a cornerstone of wholesome eating across South Asia and beyond.
