Dal Protein Calculator
Protein per katori across toor, moong, masoor, chana and rajma — and the rice-pairing math that completes it.
One katori of dal delivers ~7 g protein — decent, but a day's target needs several sources. The classic pairing is real biochemistry: dal is rich in lysine but low in methionine, rice and roti the reverse, so dal-chawal forms a complete amino-acid profile no single plant gives. Pressure-cooking also degrades the anti-nutrients that limit absorption.
