Uncooked Toor Dal, also known as pigeon peas, is a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine, particularly in South Indian and Gujarati dishes. It is a small, beige legume commonly used to prepare dals, soups, and stews. Rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like potassium, folate, and iron, Toor Dal is a wholesome choice for vegetarians and vegans. Its high fiber content supports digestion, while its protein aids muscle repair and overall health. The dal is naturally low in fat, making it a heart-friendly food. However, some preparation methods may involve added oil or ghee, which can increase caloric content. Toor Dal is gluten-free and widely recommended for those seeking balanced nutrition. When soaked and cooked, it becomes soft and absorbs flavors beautifully, making it a versatile and satisfying addition to diverse cuisines.
