About Indian dal
Dal is a staple dish in Indian cuisine, celebrated for its rich flavors and nutritional benefits. Made primarily from lentils or split pulses like chickpeas, mung beans, or pigeon peas, dal is seasoned with aromatic spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Often cooked with onions, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger, it can be enjoyed as a thick soup or curry and pairs perfectly with rice or flatbreads like roti and naan. Dal is a powerhouse of nutrition, offering high protein content, dietary fiber, essential vitamins, and minerals like iron and folate, making it a great choice for vegetarians and those seeking heart-healthy meals. Its low fat content adds to its appeal, though the healthfulness can vary depending on the cooking fat and added ingredients. With its bold spices and adaptability, dal is not only flavorful but also a wholesome, balanced dish rooted in centuries of Indian tradition.
