Dal, Cooked

EverydayCooked

Dal refers to cooked, spiced legumes—typically split lentils, peas, or beans—that form a protein-rich staple in South Asian cuisine. This thick, stew-like dish develops a creamy texture through slow simmering and often incorporates turmeric, cumin, and ginger for aromatic depth. A single serving provides substantial plant-based protein and dietary fiber while remaining naturally gluten-free and low in fat, making it nutritionally valuable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
