(If using Indian chick peas (Chana dal) the cooking time needs to be longer and the peas pre-soaked.) Nutritionally, dal is a good carbohydrate source for energy while being almost fat-free. It is an excellent source of protein. [...]

He who has abundant Sattva (quality of purity) will always have an unmarred conscience. Expansion of heart gives rise to the hearing of the voice of conscience.
