About Dahl

Dahl, a staple dish in Indian cuisine, is a flavorful stew made primarily from lentils, peas, or other legumes. Packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, folate, and magnesium, it serves as a wholesome, plant-based meal that supports heart health, digestion, and sustained energy. Often seasoned with spices such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garlic, dahl is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. Prepared with minimal oil and fresh ingredients, it can be a healthy option for various diets, such as vegetarian or vegan lifestyles. However, some variations may include ghee or cream, which can add saturated fat, so portion control is recommended when consuming richer versions. Enjoyed with rice, naan, or as a standalone dish, dahl combines nutrition, simplicity, and taste, making it a beloved comfort food across cultures.
