Rongi dal, also known as white lobia, is a nutritious pulse made from black-eyed peas that are cooked like daal and served with rice in North India. The beans are oval-shaped, pale in color, and have a large black, brown, or red spot that resembles an eye. They have a strong, nutty, earthy flavor and a rich, creamy taste.

Rongi dal is high in protein and fiber, which helps with digestion and satiety. The soluble fiber in the beans forms a gel-like substance that binds to cholesterol and bile acids in the small intestine and eliminates them from the body.
