About Spinach and toor dhal curry

Spinach and Toor Dhal Curry is a wholesome Indian dish packed with nutritious goodness. Originating from South Indian cuisine, this vegetarian recipe combines fresh spinach leaves with toor dhal (split pigeon peas), creating a flavorful, protein-rich curry. The dish is seasoned with aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, garlic, and mustard seeds, enhancing both its taste and health benefits. Spinach, a powerhouse of essential vitamins like A, C, and K, offers antioxidants and promotes bone health, while toor dhal provides plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium. Coconut milk or tamarind is often added for richness or tanginess, making the curry both satisfying and comforting. Typically served with rice or flatbread, it’s a nutrient-dense option for balanced meals. However, moderating coconut milk in the recipe can help reduce saturated fat for heart-conscious diets.
