Whole Masur Usal is a flavorful and protein-packed dish from Maharashtrian cuisine in India, known for its balanced combination of nutrition and taste. Made using whole masur lentils (red lentils), this preparation typically includes onions, tomatoes, green chilies, ginger, garlic, and an aromatic blend of spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Garnished with fresh cilantro and sometimes a squeeze of lemon, the dish offers a vibrant, tangy flavor profile. Lentils are a rich source of plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and essential minerals, contributing to heart health, digestion, and sustained energy. Traditionally served with bhakri (flatbread), rice, or as part of a wholesome meal, Whole Masur Usal is low in fat and naturally gluten-free. However, if excessive oil or fried accompaniments are added, the calorie content may increase. Ideal for vegetarians, it’s a nourishing option for anyone seeking a hearty and nutrient-dense dish.
