India is known for its diversity, but if there is one food common to every household, that is dal. The word dal – also spelled as daal or dhal – means dried legume, as in lentil or pea. It is an edible seed that grows in a pod and is peeled and split. Dal is also synonymous with thick purée, stew or soup made from these lentils – one of the most versatile ingredients in the Indian kitchen. Due to its versatility, it easily makes its way into our meals – be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It tastes best when served with rice. And, no get-together, party, or wedding menu is complete without this simple yet amazing dish.
There are so many kinds of dal - orange masoor dal, urad dal, moong dal, chana dal, among others. Each of these is prepared in different ways in different regions. In southern India, it is used to make sambar and pappu – eaten with rice, and in the northern belt, it is the regular accompaniment to roti and rice.
The simple version of preparing dal involves putting the peas into a pot with water, adding salt, a little turmeric, and then simmering them together. Depending on the type of dal used, it may take an hour or less to cook. Further, the usage of one’s preferred spices gives it a unique and distinct flavour that simply cannot be resisted. No wonder, the making of dal has attained the status of comfort food in every Indian household.
Dal is also sprouted, soaked overnight, boiled, steamed, fried and roasted to make delicious snacks such as moong dal fry snack, chana dal, dalmoth and lots more. Moong dal fry snack is made by deep-frying split mung beans. Roasted dal is used to make a range of savoury snacks, often known as dalmoth in North India. Sprouted or steamed lentils can be used with lemons, onions and chilli to make a quick snack meal. Chana dal is made with high-grade split Bengal gram soaked in water, drained, and fried to golden-yellow crispness.
All of these delicacies make for a scrumptious snack time, plus, these are considered wholesome too. Dal has fibre which is good for the body and is rich in protein. It also contains good amount of potassium that keeps blood pressure levels in check. In short, dal is a powerhouse of useful nutrients which come with many health benefits. And this was realised long before you and I were even born. There is archaeological evidence which indicates that Indian dal made its first appearance in the Indus Valley Civilisation, where lentils of all kinds were staple food.
During Maharaja times, it was used as a celebratory meal which was served to the guests. One fun fact is that a nutritious and flavoured mix of five lentils – channa dal, moong dal, toor dal, masoor dal, and urad dal – was Jodha Bai’s favourite dish. You will be surprised to find the varieties of dishes and snacks that can be made out of lentils and pulses.
