About Dall

Dall, often spelled "dal," is a staple dish in South Asian cuisine, particularly in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Made primarily from lentils, peas, or beans, it is simmered with water and often flavored using spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garlic. Sometimes tomatoes, onions, and chilies are added for enhanced flavor. Rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like folate and iron, dall is a highly nutritious food. Its high fiber content supports digestion, while the protein aids in muscle repair and growth, making it an excellent option for vegetarians and vegans. Naturally low in fat, it can be a healthy choice, although preparation methods like frying spices or adding cream may increase calorie content. Dall is versatile, served as a main dish with rice or bread, and is deeply rooted in traditional cooking and everyday meals.
