About Lentil daal

Lentil Daal is a hearty, spiced dish originating from South Asian cuisine, commonly enjoyed in Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Nepalese households. Made primarily from lentils simmered with onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and a blend of flavorful spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander, this dish is both nourishing and satisfying. Lentils are an excellent plant-based protein source, rich in dietary fiber, iron, folate, and other essential nutrients, making Lentil Daal a wholesome option for vegetarians and vegans. Low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free, it supports heart health and digestive well-being. The use of various spices not only enhances its taste but also provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. While typically served with rice or flatbreads, its nutritional value can vary depending on added fats, cream, or ghee. Opting for minimal oils and pairing with whole-grain sides can make it an even healthier choice.
