About Spiced lentils

Spiced Lentils are a hearty and flavorful dish rooted in Middle Eastern, Indian, and North African cuisines. This versatile recipe typically features protein-packed lentils simmered with aromatic spices like cumin, turmeric, coriander, and chili, often enhanced with garlic, onion, and tomatoes for depth. Common additions include fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley and a dash of lemon juice for brightness. Lentils are an excellent plant-based protein source, rich in fiber, folate, and iron, supporting healthy digestion and sustained energy. While generally low in fat, preparation methods may vary, with some versions including oils or ghee, which can increase calorie content. Spiced Lentils are a nutritious, satisfying option for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone embracing a balanced diet. Often served with rice, flatbread, or fresh greens, this dish embodies both flavor and wellness in every bite.
