What is dahl traditionally served with?

Dahl is a popular dish in Indian and South Asian cuisine, traditionally made from pulses and spices. It is typically served with a side of cooked rice or flatbread such as chapati, paratha, or naan. However, there are many regional variations on the classic dahl, and the side dishes served with it can vary depending on the region.

In South India, dahl is often served with a side of sambar, a soup-like dish made with vegetables, tamarind, and various spices. In Northern India, dahl is usually served with a side of cooked vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots, and onions. Other accompaniments may include pickles, chutney, and yogurt.

In some parts of India, dahl is also served with a side of pulao, a fragrant rice dish that is cooked in aromatic spices and ghee. This combination is known as dal-pulao, and can be served with a variety of accompaniments, such as yogurt, pickles, and chutney. Other accompaniments may include papadums, a thin, crisp, deep-fried flatbread.
