Pakistani Lentil Dishes

Lentils are everyday staples across Pakistan, valued for their comforting texture, affordability, and ability to absorb aromatic seasonings. Daal chana, masoor daal, moong daal, and mixed daal can be finished with a tarka of sizzling garlic, cumin, dried chilies, or onions. Serve them with steamed rice, chapati, or a spoonful of yogurt for a nourishing home-cooked meal.
