This dal is flexible and cooks very quickly with rice, earthy flavor, it has dietary fiber, vitamin B1, folic acid, and minerals, almost without fat. Whole masoor, a small but nutritionally powerful member of the legume family, is a very good source of cholesterol-lowering fiber. Not only can they help lower cholesterol, but they also have a special benefit in managing blood sugar disorders, since their high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising rapidly after a meal.
