What has been a classic of Indian cuisine for centuries is now also becoming increasingly popular in this country: dal. A dish of legumes and spices that can be served both as a main course and as a side dish. EAT SMARTER introduces Dal.

This is Dal

Indian dal is made from legumes such as lentils, chickpeas, beans, or peas. For this, it is boiled until a creamy porridge is formed. Coriander, cumin, chili, garlic, onion, and turmeric round off its taste and make dal, which is served both as a main course and as a side dish, an aromatic experience!

That’s why Dal is so healthy!

The main component of the Dal dish is legumes of all kinds. And these are really little power packs, because they are low in calories, have a positive effect on blood sugar levels, and provide valuable vegetable protein – which is why they regularly end up on the plates of vegetarians and vegans.

In addition, legumes contain satiating carbohydrates and up to 20 percent fiber, which, among other things, promote intestinal health. Dried peas, lentils, and beans should be soaked in water before cooking, which should then be discarded. This is the only way to remove the indigestible substances from the legumes.

Tips and home remedies to create and train the feeling of satiety. It takes time to feel full, so eat more slowly. The personal feeling of satiety is an important indicator of when someone is full. If you ignore your feeling of being full, you run the risk of gaining weight.

When does the feeling of satiety set in?

Since it takes at least 15 minutes for the body to realize that it is full after eating food, you should take your time eating and chew each bite well, rather than wolfing down the food quickly. Because if you eat too fast, you may well end up consuming far more food than you actually need. The same can also happen if you are busy with other things, such as watching TV or reading, while eating.

In order to be able to create a feeling of satiety, you should drink a lot of water when eating. Water helps fill the stomach and creates a feeling of being full. When you eat, set a 25-minute alarm clock. Chew the meal very thoroughly.

In addition, you can incorporate high-fiber foods (wholemeal pasta, brown rice with shells, potatoes, and vegetables) into your diet, which also ensures that you feel full quickly. Fiber improves the natural feeling of satiety in the long term because it balances the intestinal environment.
