About Spinach with toor dhal

Spinach with Toor Dhal is a flavorful and nutritious dish rooted in South Indian cuisine. This wholesome recipe combines fresh spinach leaves with toor dhal (split pigeon peas), cooked together with aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and garlic. Often enriched with a touch of tamarind or tomatoes for tanginess, it's served as a comforting side dish with rice or flatbreads. Rich in fiber, protein, and essential vitamins, it supports digestion, boosts immunity, and promotes heart health. Spinach is packed with iron, calcium, and antioxidants, while toor dhal provides plant-based protein and folate. Low in fat, this dish can fit well into vegetarian, vegan, or balanced diets. However, mindful use of oil and salt ensures it remains heart-friendly. Spinach with Toor Dhal is a delicious way to incorporate nutrient-dense greens and legumes into your everyday meals.
