Plain Dal is a simple, traditional dish rooted in South Asian cuisine, particularly Indian and Pakistani households. Made primarily with lentils such as yellow split peas, red lentils, or mung beans, it is cooked with water and often seasoned lightly with turmeric, salt, and sometimes ginger or garlic. This dish is typically served with rice or flatbreads. Lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate, making Plain Dal a nutritious option. It is naturally low in fat and cholesterol, supporting heart health and digestion. However, depending on preparation, added oils or excessive salt might affect its overall healthfulness. Its simplicity and mild flavor make it versatile and accessible, accommodating various dietary preferences.
