Coco Dal Ball

Coco Dal Balls are sweet yellow dal balls made with cooked mung dal, flavored with essential oils and sweetened with agave syrup or coconut sugar. These balls offer a unique twist on the traditional dal dish, demonstrating that lentils can be transformed into a delightful dessert.

Once, while visiting a friend who was unfamiliar with cooking dal, I decided to teach her not only how to prepare a savory dal but also how to make these sweet Coco Dal Balls. She was absolutely delighted by the soft tenderness and sweet flavor of the dessert.

Mung dal, known as “Green Gram” in Sanskrit, is a highly nutritious lentil. It is celebrated for its antioxidant, anti-diabetic, antimicrobial, anti-hyperlipidemic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties.
