'''Dāl bhāt''' ([[Bhojpuri language|Bhojpuri]]: 𑂠𑂰𑂪 𑂦𑂰𑂞, {{langx|ne|दाल भात}}, {{langx|hi|दाल भात}}, {{langx|bn|ডাল ভাত}}, {{langx|gu|દાળ ભાત}}, {{langx|mr|डाळ भात}}, {{langx|as|দাইল ভাত}} ''dāil bhat'' / দালি ভাত ''dāli bhāt'') is a traditional meal from the Indian subcontinent. It consists of [[steamed rice]] and a [[stew]] of [[legume|pulses]] called ''[[dal]]''. It is a [[staple food]] in these countries. ''Bhāt'' or ''chāwal'' means "boiled rice" in a number of [[Indo-Aryan languages]].<br />
<br />
At higher elevations in Nepal, above {{convert|6500|ft}}, where rice does not grow well, other grains such as [[maize]], [[buckwheat]], [[barley]] or [[millet]] may be substituted in a cooked preparation called [[dhindo]] or ''atho'' in Nepal. Bhat may be supplemented with [[roti]] in Nepal (rounds of unleavened bread).<br />
<br />
Dal may be cooked with [[onion]], [[garlic]], [[ginger]], [[chili pepper|chili]], [[tomato]]es, or [[tamarind]], in addition to lentils or [[bean]]s. It always contains herbs and spices such as [[coriander]], [[garam masala]], [[cumin]], and [[turmeric]]. Recipes vary by season, locality, ethnic group and family.<br />
<br />
Dal bhat is often served with [[tarkari|vegetable tarkari or torkari]] ({{lang|ne|तरकारी}} in Nepali, তরকারি in Bengali), a mix of available seasonal vegetables. It is also called '''dal bhat tarkari''' (दाल भात तरकारी) in [[Nepali language|Nepali]] and Bengali (ডাল ভাত তরকারি). A small portion of [[pickling|pickle]] (called ''achar'' or ''loncha'') is sometimes included. In Bengal (West Bengal and Bangladesh) dal bhat may accompany machh bhaja (মাছ ভাজা - fried fish).<br />
<br />
Dal bhat bhujiya is a traditional dish eaten in [[Bihar]] along with chokha.<br />
