Multi Dal Gravy

Multi Dal Gravy

Healthy and delicious multi daal recipe.

Lentil(Dal) is the backbone of the Indian meal and definitely has a good deal of protein. Dal has several benefits including the fact that it is nutritious, tasty, and adds a perfect accompaniment to most meals.Lentils are a good source of protein and fiber along with folate, vitamin B and minerals. Red (or pink) lentils contain a lower concentration of fiber than green lentils (11% rather than 31%). I have added toor dal,chana dal,flax seeds,beans etc…Lentils are a powerhouse of soluble fiber, the kind that protects the heart by lowering cholesterol levels. Most people don’t get enough heart healthy fiber in their diet and lentils provide an easy way to add fiber.

This multi dal curry is so easy to make. It is less spicy and no garlic and tomato. This multi dal curry is a comfort but healthy side dish for chapathi, roti etc… You can check for some vegetarian side dishes like Dum Aloo,Easy onion tomato masala(with step by step photos),Green peas masala,Soya keema,Vegetable Kuruma(with step by step photos)
