About Varan bhat

Varan Bhat is a simple, wholesome dish hailing from Maharashtrian cuisine in India, often enjoyed as comfort food. It consists of "varan," which is a mildly spiced lentil stew made from yellow split pigeon peas (toor dal), turmeric, and a hint of ghee, paired with "bhat," plain steamed rice. This vegetarian dish is a rich source of protein and dietary fiber, making it excellent for digestion and muscle health. High levels of iron and folate in lentils can support energy levels and overall health. The addition of ghee provides healthy fats, though moderation is advised for calorie-conscious diets. The dish is typically mild, making it suitable for various palates and easy on the stomach. Its simplicity and nutritional benefits make Varan Bhat a balanced and comforting meal revered in traditional Indian diets.
