Dal paratha / Gahat dal paratha.

Dal paratha are made of pulses, which we make by grinding pulses. We will make gahat dal parathas, which are pure vegetarian, tasty, and nutritious, and which we can serve as a great breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Kulat dal is a common dish of the mountain people, considered to be of a hot nature, which gives them energy for such weather. In the cold season in the mountains, the use of gahat dal is more prevalent in making different dishes. Horseradish is rich in protein, calcium, fat, and antioxidants. Eating horsegram has more nutritious and medicinal properties. Horse gram, considered a superfood, is known for its health benefits. Gahat dal is beneficial for the prevention of many diseases like kidney stones, obesity, high blood pressure, and asthma. Parathas made from pulses have always been my favorite, as they are pure vegetarian and nutritious. For this, I have chosen gahat ki dal and mandwa flour, which are winter staples in the mountains. I make parathas for breakfast, dal during the day, and snacks or appetisers in the evening. which I serve with homemade bhang chutney, ground salt in silbatta, and potatoes cooked in the fire.
