Answer

Yes, plain daal can be Paryushan-friendly if it is prepared according to Jain dietary rules followed during Paryushan.

Explanation

Daal is generally acceptable during Paryushan when:

• It does not contain onion, garlic, potato, carrot, beetroot, or other root vegetables.
• It is cooked fresh and eaten within the proper time according to your tradition.
• It does not contain fermented or prohibited ingredients.
• It is prepared with proper care, cleanliness, and simplicity.

Commonly, simple moong daal, tuvar daal, or chana daal may be used, depending on family and sect practices.

Spiritual Understanding

During Paryushan, the focus is on ahimsa, self-control, simplicity, and purification of the soul. So even if daal is allowed, it is best to keep the food simple and avoid excess taste or indulgence.

Takeaway

Plain daal without root vegetables, onion, garlic, or improper ingredients is generally Paryushan-friendly, but always follow your family, guru, or sangh’s specific niyam.
