Abstract

This study examines the nutritional value of Dal Pitha to promote it beyond its local borders. This study seeks to understand the meal’s origins and cultural importance. This study also describes the preparation, technique, and nutrition of a lesser-known guilt-free snack. This study aimed to objectively examine three Dal Pitha features. The study aims to analyse the source and process of preparation; to create an approximated Nutrients Information Panel and the goal is to discover potential bioactive compounds to offer a succinct review of health benefits. The study used mixed methodologies. To comprehend the food, several interviews were done to learn the recipe. A rudimentary calorie counter was used for nutritional analysis to determine calorific value. The survey found that people of Eastern India value Dal Pitha culturally and it is part of their traditional inheritance. The combination of components and careful preparation give these steamed dumplings their unique taste, texture, and flavour. Dal Pitha may provide critical nutrients and health benefits as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic, and cardiovascular health. The calculated total energy was 153 calories, which is more nutritious. Additionally, these calories are clean. Scientific interventions for Dal Pitha production and packaging on a bigger scale are needed to meet expected demand and extend shelf life.
