Dal Mashhur is a savory dish from South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in Indian and Pakistani households. Made with red or yellow lentils (masoor dal), it is typically slow-cooked with aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and garlic, giving it a warm and comforting flavor. Some recipes include tomatoes, onions, or a garnish of fresh cilantro and ghee for added richness. Lentils, the star ingredient, are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, potassium, and folate, making this dish a nourishing, heart-healthy option. While Dal Mashhur is low in fat, the use of ghee or oil should be moderated for those watching calorie or saturated fat intake. Commonly served with rice or flatbread, it’s both satisfying and nutritious, catering to a variety of dietary needs, including vegetarian and gluten-free diets.
