About Boiled toor dal

Boiled Toor Dal, also known as pigeon peas, is a versatile legume widely used in Indian cuisine. It is a core ingredient in traditional dishes like sambhar, dal fry, and khichdi. Toor dal is naturally rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients such as iron, folate, and magnesium, making it a healthy choice for vegetarians and vegans. Boiling it brings out its creamy texture and nutty flavor, making it an ideal base for soups and stews. Its high fiber content supports digestive health, while its low-fat profile contributes to heart health. However, when prepared with excessive oil or salt, it can impact calorie and sodium levels, so it’s important to cook it with balanced seasonings. Toor dal is gluten-free and easy to digest, making it a staple for nutritious meals across many households.
