About Dal cooked
Dal, a staple in Indian cuisine, is a nourishing dish made from lentils or split pulses such as moong, masoor, or toor. Typically cooked with water, spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander, and sometimes tomatoes or onions, it develops a hearty, flavorful profile. Dal is rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and essential nutrients, making it a wholesome addition to a balanced diet. It’s low in fat and calories while being satiating, aiding in digestion and promoting heart health. Variations include tempering with ghee or oil, which can add flavor but also increase fat content. Dal can be served as a soup or paired with rice or flatbreads for a complete meal. However, those monitoring sodium or calorie intake should watch for added salt, oil, or cream in certain recipes. Overall, it’s a versatile, healthful dish central to South Asian cooking.
