About Mung chilka dal cooked

Mung Chilka Dal is a flavorful Indian dish made from split green gram lentils with the husks (mung chilka). This protein-rich legume is simmered with aromatic spices, turmeric, and often a hint of garlic, ginger, and onions for added depth. Originating from Indian cuisine, it is a staple in many households and is typically served with rice or Indian flatbreads. Mung chilka is naturally low in fat, high in dietary fiber, and packed with essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and folate, making it beneficial for digestion, heart health, and energy. Its plant-based protein content makes it an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans. While it's generally a healthy dish, added ghee or oil during tempering can increase calorie content, so moderation in preparation is key. Mung Chilka Dal is a comforting and nutritious option that balances taste and health.
