About Palak dal

Palak Dal is a wholesome and flavorful dish from Indian cuisine, combining tender lentils and nutrient-rich spinach (palak) with aromatic spices. Typically made with yellow or red lentils, the dish is simmered alongside ginger, garlic, onions, and a harmonious blend of turmeric, cumin, and chili for depth and warmth. Spinach adds a fresh, vibrant touch, boosting its nutritional value with vitamins A, C, and K, along with iron and fiber. Lentils contribute plant-based protein, essential minerals, and soluble fiber, making Palak Dal a heart-healthy choice. Usually served with rice or flatbreads, it provides a balanced meal. Thanks to its low-fat profile and high nutrient density, Palak Dal is suitable for those seeking a nutritious and satisfying option. However, richness from added oils or ghee in some recipes can increase calorie content, so portions may require mindfulness for calorie-conscious diets.
