About Dal and spinach

Dal and spinach is a nutritious and flavorful dish that originates from Indian cuisine. It combines lentils (dal) and spinach into a hearty stew-like preparation. Lentils are a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium. Spinach adds a boost of vitamins A, C, and K, along with antioxidants and iron, making this dish highly nutrient-dense. Traditionally spiced with turmeric, cumin, garlic, and other spices, it offers anti-inflammatory and immune-supporting benefits. Low in fat and cholesterol, this dish is perfect for heart health and digestive health. However, the nutritional profile can change depending on the use of added oils, cream, or butter during preparation. Paired with rice or flatbread, dal and spinach is a wholesome and satisfying meal suitable for vegetarians and vegans alike.
