Most people think of non-vegetarian protein sources like eggs, fish, and chicken when they think of protein. For vegans, there is a pulse that is higher in protein than meat and eggs. We are discussing masoor dal, a nutritionally potent pulse with a straightforward appearance.
 
There are roughly 9 grams of protein in 100 grams of cooked lentils.  However, because it has very little fat, it is also thought to be heart-healthy.  Its unique quality is that it is a great source of easily digestible plant-based protein.

Comparisons of egg and Meat
On average, a boiled egg contains 6 grams of protein, but 100 grams of chicken contains 20–25 grams.  While lentils are excellent in fiber, iron, folate, and antioxidants, non-vegetarian versions are high in saturated fat and cholesterol.  For this reason, it is also very good for immunity, digestion, and heart health.
 
 Additionally, lentils can aid with weight loss and diabetes.
 
Their low glycemic index contributes to stable blood sugar levels.  Its high fiber content provides a sustained feeling of fullness, which reduces needless eating and helps maintain a healthy weight.

How to consume?

Masoor dal can be consumed straight, in soup, stuffed into parathas, or even as sprouts.  By adding lemon and some green vegetables, its nutritional value can be further enhanced.
