About Spinach dhal

Spinach Dhal is a flavorful and nutritious dish rooted in Indian cuisine, made by simmering lentils with aromatic spices, garlic, ginger, and fresh spinach. Typically prepared with red lentils or yellow moong lentils, this dish is infused with turmeric, cumin, and sometimes chili for a vibrant and mildly spiced profile. Spinach Dhal is prized for its health benefits, boasting high protein from lentils and an abundance of vitamins, iron, and antioxidants from spinach. It's low in fat, cholesterol-free, and rich in dietary fiber, supporting digestion and heart health. The inclusion of minimal oil and wholesome ingredients makes it a balanced choice for most diets, although overly rich versions with added cream or ghee may increase calorie content. Traditionally served with rice or flatbreads, Spinach Dhal is a fulfilling and wholesome way to enjoy plant-based nutrition.
