About Vatana dal

Vatana Dal, derived from dried green peas, is a versatile pulse celebrated in Indian cuisine. Often used in traditional curries and stews, this dal provides a hearty, earthy flavor paired with a smooth texture when cooked. Originating from regions across India, it is particularly popular in Gujarati and Maharashtrian recipes. Rich in plant-based protein and dietary fiber, Vatana Dal supports digestion, satiety, and muscle health, making it a nutritious choice for vegetarians and vegans. It's also a good source of essential vitamins and minerals like iron, potassium, and B vitamins, which contribute to energy production and overall well-being. However, cooking methods that incorporate high amounts of oil or cream can add extra calories, so it's best prepared with light spices and minimal fats for a healthier dish. Simple to prepare and nutritionally balanced, Vatana Dal is a wholesome ingredient that enhances both flavor and health.
