Homemade Daal is a hearty and flavorful lentil-based dish rooted in South Asian cuisine, specifically Indian and Pakistani traditions. Made with protein-rich lentils like red, yellow, or mung, it is simmered with aromatic spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander, often cooked with onions, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger. This versatile dish is a nutritious staple, low in saturated fat and high in fiber, iron, and plant-based protein, making it a great option for vegetarians and vegans. The spices not only add depth of flavor but also boast anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits. Served with rice or flatbread, it provides a balanced meal. However, the nutritional profile can vary depending on the use of oils or butter for tempering (tadka). Opting for minimal oil and adding fresh vegetables can enhance its health benefits while keeping it light and wholesome.
