How can I include more pulses in meals without serving the same dal repeatedly?
Vary the format, texture, flavour direction or role in the meal. A pulse can be part of a soup, a grain-based dish, a side or a filling when its cooked texture is suitable.
More that helps
Consider the household's preferences and digestion comfort.
Why it happens
Pulses can become repetitive when the same texture and seasoning are used each time. Their versatility extends beyond a bowl of dal, but the form must suit the pulse and meal.
How it works
Different preparations change how pulse starch and protein are experienced. Variation in texture and seasoning can make the same broad food group feel less repetitive.
