About Dalma

Dalma is a traditional dish from Odisha, India, celebrated for its wholesome and nutritious profile. It is primarily made using a mix of lentils, usually split pigeon peas (toor dal), and seasonal vegetables such as raw papaya, pumpkin, and eggplant, cooked together with minimal spices. The preparation often includes healthy ingredients like ginger and cumin for added flavor and digestion benefits. Dalma is a rich source of protein from lentils and provides essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber through its assortment of vegetables, making it a well-rounded dish for vegetarians. Typically cooked with little to no oil, Dalma is considered heart-healthy and suitable for weight management. However, its nutritional value may vary if prepared with excessive ghee or fried accompaniments. This comforting dish is deeply rooted in Odia cuisine and often enjoyed as part of festive meals or everyday lunches.
