Dal (also spelled Dahl or Daal, or Dhal) is a preparation of pulses (dried lentils, peas or beans) which have been stripped of their outer hulls and split. It also refers to the thick stew prepared from these pulses, an important part of Indian, Nepali, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, West Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine. It is regularly eaten with rice and vegetables in southern India, and with both rice and roti (wheat-based flat bread) throughout northern India and Pakistan. Dal is a ready source of proteins for a balanced diet containing little or no meat. Sri Lankan cooking of dal resembles that of southern Indian dishes.

before i go anywhere now i eat at home before i go out.
i have lentils (i like them in solid pieces not pressurized into a liquid) with wiri pepper, cauliflower, carrots and seasoned with Shan masala for Dal or Channa. that with a glass of water and i am full. when i go to my families house i only eat the appetizers, not the mains.
