About Lentil dhal
Lentil Dhal is a flavorful and nutritious dish originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly India and Nepal. It is made primarily from lentils, which are simmered with aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garlic. Often enriched with onions, tomatoes, and chili for added depth, Dhal is typically served with rice or bread like naan or roti. Lentils are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients such as iron and folate. The dish is naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, making it a heart-healthy option. However, depending on the recipe, the addition of ghee or cream can increase its saturated fat content. Lentil Dhal is not only satisfying and wholesome but also a versatile dish that can be adapted for vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free diets, offering a rich and comforting way to enjoy balanced nutrition.
