About Daal palak

Daal Palak is a nutritious and flavorful dish originating from Indian cuisine, combining lentils (daal) and spinach (palak) with an aromatic blend of spices. This wholesome recipe typically features protein-rich lentils, fresh spinach, onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and spices like cumin, turmeric, and chili powder. The dish is often cooked with a minimal amount of oil, making it lighter and healthier. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K from spinach, alongside fiber, iron, and folate, Daal Palak supports digestion, immunity, and heart health. Lentils contribute plant-based protein and an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, helping provide sustained energy. While traditionally served with rice or flatbread, the dish can be enjoyed on its own as a low-calorie, nutrient-dense meal. However, individuals watching sodium or fat intake may need to monitor added salt and oil levels during preparation.
