पावटे डाळ (वाल डाळ)
 
Pavte Dal (Lima Beans/Field Beans) is a nutritious, protein-rich legume popular in Maharashtrian cuisine. Often prepared as Pavta Usal (stir-fry) or Pavatyachya Dalichi Amati (coconut-based curry), this staple is known for its rustic, earthy flavor. It is a quick-cooking, healthy meal usually served with rotis or rice.
 
It is important not to confuse Pavta with regular lentils like Toor or Moong; it is a whole bean product that provides a slightly sweet, creamy texture to dishes.
