About Gongura dal

Gongura Dal is a flavorful lentil dish originating from Andhra Pradesh, India, combining protein-rich lentils with the tangy essence of gongura leaves (sorrel). Known for its distinctive sour taste, it's typically prepared with toor dal or split pigeon peas, gongura leaves, onions, tomatoes, garlic, and a blend of aromatic spices tempered in oil. Gongura Dal is a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and antioxidants, thanks to the gongura leaves. It supports digestion, bone health, and boosts immunity while being naturally gluten-free. However, the dish’s sodium and fat content might increase based on the use of salt and oil in preparation. Paired with rice, it is a staple in South Indian meals, offering both wholesome nutrition and a burst of traditional flavor.
