Dal Lentils, a staple in South Asian cuisine, are a hearty, plant-based dish derived from split lentils such as red, yellow, or black lentils. Originating from regions like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, Dal is typically cooked with spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander, creating a rich, aromatic flavor. Packed with protein, fiber, iron, and essential nutrients, Dal Lentils are an excellent addition to vegetarian and vegan diets. Their high fiber content aids digestion, while low-fat levels support heart health. However, some preparations may include ghee or cream, increasing saturated fat content. Simple recipes using minimal oil and fresh herbs enhance their health benefits. As a versatile dish, Dal Lentils pair well with rice, flatbreads, or even salads, making them a wholesome and satisfying option for meals.
