About Indian black daal

Indian Black Daal, also known as Dal Makhani, is a creamy lentil dish originating from North Indian cuisine. It is traditionally made with black gram lentils (urad dal) and kidney beans, slow-cooked and enriched with a blend of spices like cumin, turmeric, and garam masala. The dish typically includes a generous amount of butter or cream, enhancing its rich texture and flavor. Black gram is a nutritional powerhouse, providing protein, fiber, and essential minerals such as magnesium and iron, making it an excellent option for sustained energy and digestive health. However, the addition of cream and butter increases the calorie and fat content, making moderation key for those monitoring their fat intake. A lighter version of the dish, using less or no cream, can offer a healthier alternative while preserving its signature taste. Perfect with rice or naan, it delivers both comfort and nourishment.
