A Great Take on a Dal Dish!<\/h2>\n

Dal is a renowned Indian dish made with dried pulses such as lentils, peas or beans.<\/p>\n

To that you add as many or as little spices as you like. Plus, you can even throw in tomatoes or unripe mangoes to sweeten your dal. You can add less water and eat it with rice or you can add more water and eat it as a thick soup.<\/p>\n

Dal can be as plain and bland as you like or as flavorful as any other Indian dish out there. This dal recipe that we\u2019re sharing today, keeps it simple but it\u2019s anything but dull!<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s dal is made with split red lentils but you can use whatever lentils you like: French green, whole green or split yellow to name a few. Or you can use yellow or green split peas.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the difference between split peas and lentils? They\u2019re both legumes but split peas are grown for drying whereas lentils are pulses\u2014the dried seeds of legumes. seeds are harvested and then dried.<\/p>\n

Split peas are high in protein and fiber and low in fat and don\u2019t need to be soaked. The fact that they\u2019re split makes their cooking time much faster. The green ones are sweeter whereas the yellow ones are milder but more starchy. Try them both and decide which you like more.<\/p>\n

Lentils, like split peas, are high in fiber and protein as well as calcium and vitamins A and B and super high in folate. Lentils too don\u2019t need to be soaked overnight. One of the greatest things about lentils is that they give you tons of energy while stabilizing your blood sugar levels because they are so packed with soluble fiber.<\/p>\n

This dal soup makes an awesome lunch that\u2019ll take you 15 minutes to prepare!
