Why pulses are not part of western diet ?

I have not seen them using pulses in their reciepies on tv or otherwise. Appart from bean, kidney beans etc. Which is strange, because apparently they are full of nutrition and protiens and it is quite a common knowledge.

I am concened because according to me if they are not aware of these daalain, which we asians uses very frequently , almost daily then they are missing a whole culinary bonanza.

I can not imagine my deit without these yummy flavours of variety of pulses. Be it masoor, mong, mash , chana, kaley chaney. And most of them cook delicious without any addition of meat. So full fledge vegetarian dishes. And packed with high value nutrition, protien, fiber and vitamin. :k:

Codey paaji,

My Amriki frands use garbanzo beans, black beans, navy beans, black eyed beans, kidney beans tey masoor daal and channa daal mixes as soups and in stews. Southern US cooking utilizes pulses a lot. Lentil soups are even available in Campbell soup cans.

So yeah, may they don’t put tarka in their pulses but the strong awareness of their health benefits have indeed spread and I see more and more households consuming them.
