About Lentil dahl

Lentil Dahl is a nutritious and flavorful dish originating from Indian cuisine, celebrated for its comforting textures and rich spices. The recipe primarily features lentils—high in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate—along with a blend of aromatic ingredients such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, garlic, and ginger. Often cooked with tomatoes and onions, it offers a robust balance of savory and tangy flavors. Lentil Dahl is vegan-friendly and naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for various dietary preferences. Health benefits include supporting digestion, promoting heart health, and providing sustained energy. However, recipes with added ghee or coconut milk can elevate saturated fat content, so lighter substitutions like olive oil can be considered for a healthier adaptation. A staple of South Asian meals, Lentil Dahl pairs excellently with rice or flatbreads, serving as both a nutritious side and a satisfying main dish.
