Masoor dal (Thick)
Thick consistency: 20-25g raw dal per 100ml. Midpoint 22.5g.
Smart Protein Pairing Recommendation
Pair with rice, roti, oats, or sesame seeds to top up Methionine.
💡 In Indian thali culture, cereals (rice/roti) are naturally limited in Lysine, while pulses (dals) are limited in Methionine. Eaten together, they synthesize into a 100% complete protein.
