Masoor dal also known as red lentil, has immeasurable benefits.

This dal does not need lot of time for cooking. 

It helps to control the blood pressure, cholesterol and aids in wieght loss.

Masoor dal is a rich source of vitamins and other nutrients like calcium and magnesium, which are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and bones.
