Tetor Daal (Karela, mung daal)

A sattvik Bengali classic, Tetor Daal features bitter gourd (karela) slow-cooked with yellow mung dal in a light, gently spiced broth. The subtle bitterness of karela is balanced by turmeric, ginger, and a fragrant tempering, creating a dish that is both detoxifying and deeply nourishing. Traditionally eaten at the start of a Bengali meal to stimulate digestion, it is rich in plant protein, fiber, and antioxidants. Naturally Gluten-Free and Vegan.

Ingredient Note: We primarily use Organic 24 Mantra or Organic Tatva lentils.
