Indian Dahl is one of my favorite plant-based recipes, full of flavors, nutrient-dense, easy to make and budget friendly. Lentils are a staple in Indian cooking and make a delicious and rich soup. Lentils are a good source of protein, folic acid, iron, and dietary fiber. Lentils are high in soluble fiber, which supports the growth of beneficial bacteria, improves gut health, lowers cholesterol and helps stabilize blood sugar levels. Lentils are among the easier dried legumes to prepare and take little time to cook.  Onion, garlic and spices used in this recipe add additional health-supporting benefits and also give a lot of flavors. Turmeric is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory spices and ginger has been traditionally used for its anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits.  Great recipe for plant-based dinners! I hope you enjoy!
