About Dahl chawl

Dahl Chawl, also known as Dal Chawal, is a quintessential dish in South Asian cuisine, particularly in Indian households. It pairs cooked lentils (dal) with steamed rice (chawal) for a simple yet satisfying meal. High in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate, dal is often made using lentils such as toor, moong, masoor, or urad, simmered with spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander. The rice provides a comforting source of carbohydrates, making this combination a balanced and nourishing meal. It's naturally gluten-free, vegetarian, and easily adaptable for vegan diets. However, the healthiness can vary based on preparation—excessive use of ghee or oil can add calories, while moderate seasoning keeps it light. Rich in antioxidants and gut-friendly spices, Dal Chawal is celebrated for both its flavors and health benefits, making it a staple across generations.
