Afternoon bloating after a bowl of dal comes down to a few preparation habits that most recipes skip entirely. Soaking the lentils in cold water and then draining that water before cooking flushes out some of the sugars that gut bacteria ferment into gas. Skimming the foam that rises in the first few minutes of boiling keeps the flavor clean. Sour ingredients like tomatoes or lemon should wait until the dal is completely soft, because acidity tightens the lentil skin and slows cooking. For the tadka, hing must be fried briefly in hot ghee rather than sprinkled in raw, or it stays bitter. The video also recommends starting with split yellow moong dal if beans have been hard on your stomach, describes when to eat heavier lentils versus lighter ones, and closes with a grandfather's after-dinner habits of fennel seeds and a short walk. #dal #indiancooking #lentilrecipe #bloatingrelief #seniorhealth #digestivehealth #moogndal #tadka #indianfood #cookingforseniors #lentils #homecooking
