Yellow Jeera Daal is a classic Indian lentil dish known for its simplicity and comforting flavors. It is made by cooking yellow lentils (usually split yellow pigeon peas or split yellow mung beans) with water, turmeric, and cumin seeds (jeera) until the lentils are soft and creamy. The cumin seeds impart a warm and earthy flavor to the daal, while the turmeric adds a beautiful yellow color and subtle aroma.
