About Daal maash

Daal Maash is a traditional South Asian lentil dish made from split and skinned urad dal (black gram), originating primarily from Indian and Pakistani cuisine. Renowned for its creamy texture and rich flavor, it’s often seasoned with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, garlic, and turmeric, and cooked with onions, tomatoes, and ghee or oil. Daal Maash is highly nutritious, packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, folate, and essential minerals like magnesium and potassium, making it excellent for digestion and maintaining heart health. Its protein content supports muscle repair and growth, making it particularly valuable in vegetarian diets. However, the use of ghee or excessive oil may add saturated fats, which should be moderated for those watching their fat intake. Pairing it with whole-grain roti or brown rice can enhance its overall health benefits, making Daal Maash a delicious and versatile component of a balanced meal.
