About Toor dhal

Toor Dhal, also known as pigeon peas, is a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine, particularly in lentil-based dishes like sambhar and dal. These small, yellow lentils are rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients, including iron, magnesium, potassium, and B vitamins, making them a valuable plant-based protein source for vegetarians and vegans. Toor Dhal is low in fat and cholesterol, supporting heart health and digestion while promoting sustained energy levels. Its mild, nutty flavor blends well with a variety of spices, making it a versatile and nutritious addition to meals. However, when prepared with excessive oil or fatty ingredients, its calorie content can increase, so it’s best enjoyed in wholesome, balanced recipes. Toor Dhal is as nutritious as it is delicious, contributing to a healthy diet while showcasing the rich culinary traditions of South Asia.
