About Dhal curry

Dhal Curry, a staple dish in South Asian cuisine, particularly Indian and Sri Lankan kitchens, is a flavorful and nutritious stew made primarily from lentils. Common ingredients include red lentils, turmeric, curry leaves, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and a blend of spices such as cumin and coriander. Coconut milk is sometimes added for richness. Dhal Curry is packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins such as folate and iron, making it heart-healthy and supportive of digestion. Its low glycemic index also makes it suitable for maintaining steady energy levels. Typically served with rice or flatbreads, it’s a versatile dish that can be adjusted to varying spice levels. While highly nutritious, portions with added coconut milk or ghee may be higher in saturated fats, so moderation is key for balanced consumption. Overall, Dhal Curry combines wholesomeness with vibrant flavors in a warming, satisfying meal.
