About Red lentil dahl

Red Lentil Dahl is a nutritious, flavorful dish originating from Indian cuisine, cherished for its comforting warmth and simple preparation. Made primarily from red lentils, it is simmered with aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garlic, often enriched with ginger and chili for a vibrant depth. Tomatoes and onions are commonly included, adding both texture and a rich, tangy profile. This dish is naturally high in protein and fiber, making it excellent for digestive health and maintaining fullness, while being low in fat. Packed with essential nutrients like iron, folate, and potassium, it's a plant-based powerhouse suitable for vegans and vegetarians. Typically served with rice or flatbread, it provides a wholesome, balanced meal. However, some variations may include added oils or coconut milk, increasing calorie content, so portions and preparation methods should be considered for those monitoring fat intake.
