Tag: Bhatt dal

Native to the Himalayan regions of Uttarakhand, Bhatt dal is a prized ingredient known for its unique flavor and high protein content. The English name of Bhatt dal is **black soybean**, also referred to as *kala bhatt*. This distinct variety of soybean is a staple in many Pahadi households and has gained recognition for its significant nutritional value and rich, earthy taste.

Over 46% of bhatt dal's dry weight is pure protein, making it one of the most potent plant-based protein sources available. This unassuming black soybean, hailing from the high altitudes of Uttarakhand, offers a treasure trove of nutritional benefits that are central to traditional Himalayan cuisine.
