All about Dal
Rich in iron, protein and B vitamins, “dal” (split peas/lentils/legumes) is an excellent and versatile staple of the Vedic diet. Certain dal preparations are the preferred menu of many enlightened souls in ashrams across India as well as healthy plates across the country. With well over 60 types of dal to choose from, this workshop presents an easy to prepare basic recipe that may be modified to suit a variety of dals (from the very rich urad dal to the more easily digested moong dal) for lunch or dinner nourishment. We will also discuss the best lentils to use for making fresh healthy sprouts! Don’t be intimidated by the sophisticated use of spices and herbs in Indian cooking - soul satisfying dal is easy to make!
