About Indian daal

Daal is a traditional Indian dish made from lentils or split pulses, such as mung, masoor, toor, or chana dal. Simmered with aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander, it may include ingredients such as tomatoes, garlic, and onions for added flavor. As a staple in Indian cuisine, daal is not only versatile but also highly nutritious. It's a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and essential minerals, making it an excellent choice for vegetarians and those seeking heart-healthy meals. Low in fat and cholesterol, it promotes digestive health and helps stabilize blood sugar. However, some preparations may include ghee or cream, which add saturated fats, so moderation is key. Whether served over rice or alongside bread like roti, daal is a flavorful, wholesome dish celebrated for its nourishment and satisfying warmth.
