About Yellow daal

Yellow Daal is a hearty, protein-rich dish that originates from Indian cuisine, widely enjoyed across South Asia. Made primarily with yellow lentils, such as moong dal or toor dal, it is cooked with a blend of spices including turmeric, cumin, coriander, and sometimes ginger or garlic, which enhance its flavor and anti-inflammatory properties. Often simmered with onions, tomatoes, and other vegetables, Yellow Daal is low in fat, high in dietary fiber, and an excellent source of plant-based protein, making it beneficial for heart health and digestion. It is also rich in key nutrients such as folate, iron, and magnesium, contributing to sustained energy and overall well-being. Traditionally served with rice or flatbread, it can be prepared lighter or richer depending on the use of oil, ghee, or cream, making it versatile but encouraging moderation for calorie-conscious diets.
