What is Tere 5 Dal?
Tere 5 Dal is a mix of five kinds of dal, the pulses used to make the everyday lentil and bean dishes of South Asian cooking. Cooked until soft, it becomes a dal: a comforting, spoonable dish that can be seasoned with spices, onion and tomato. The exact mix can vary by product.
In South Asian meals, dal is commonly served with rice or flatbread, often alongside vegetables or other dishes. It also works as a warming bowl on its own, with a squeeze of lemon or fresh herbs. It provides both protein and fibre, with 7.5 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter meal, use a modest amount of oil and add vegetables; a grain such as rice makes it more filling.
