The original name of Dalda is "Dall".
Dalda, a popular brand of vegetable ghee, was originally known as "Dall" when it was first launched in 1937 by the Lever Brothers in India. The name was later changed to "Dalda" to make it more pronounceable and memorable for the Indian market.
The name "Dall" was chosen because it is a shortened form of the word "dal," which is a common name for lentils in India. Lentils were a key ingredient in the original Dalda product, which was made from hydrogenated vegetable oil.
The brand has since become synonymous with vegetable ghee in India and other parts of the world.
