About White daal

White Daal, often associated with Indian and South Asian cuisine, is a comforting lentil-based dish traditionally made using split urad dal (black gram lentils, peeled to reveal the white interior). Cooked slowly with aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander, it frequently incorporates ghee or oil for a richer flavor, along with garlic, ginger, and onions to enhance its depth. White Daal is a rich source of protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium and potassium, supporting muscle growth and digestion. Its slow-digesting carbohydrates also contribute to sustained energy. While nutrient-dense, its calorie content can increase depending on the use of ghee or cream, common in some variations. Typically enjoyed with steamed rice or flatbreads, White Daal is a wholesome and balanced meal but should be consumed in moderation if aiming to reduce fat intake.
