Black Gram Whole

Black gram, locally known as ‘kaalo daal’ in Nepal, is a type of lentil that is widely used in Nepali cuisine. It is a rich source of protein and fiber, making it a popular ingredient in vegetarian and vegan dishes.

In Nepal, black gram is commonly used to make daal, a popular lentil soup that is often served with rice or roti. The lentils are usually soaked overnight and then cooked with spices such as cumin, coriander, and turmeric, along with onions, tomatoes, and ginger-garlic paste. The resulting daal is thick, creamy, and flavorful, with a slightly nutty taste.
