About Dal palak

Dal Palak is a nutritious and flavorful dish from Indian cuisine that combines lentils (dal) with spinach (palak). Traditionally, it features yellow lentils like toor or moong, simmered with spices such as turmeric, cumin, garlic, and chilies, and is enriched with chopped fresh spinach. High in protein and fiber from the lentils and packed with vitamins A, C, and K, iron, and antioxidants from the spinach, Dal Palak is both hearty and healthful. Its low-fat preparation makes it a great option for those looking to maintain balanced nutrition. When paired with whole-grain roti or brown rice, it forms a complete vegetarian protein source. However, watch for high sodium or added ghee (clarified butter) in some variations, which may increase calorie content. Overall, Dal Palak is a wholesome and satisfying choice, offering the perfect blend of taste and nourishment.
