Nutrient values

Though prepared in various different ways across the country, Moong Dal with Spinach is nevertheless a favourite combination in desi cooking. Here, we have made a low calorie version of this delicious iron-rich dal. This recipe is chock full of nutrients, as spinach brings protein, garlic has anti-bacterial and other medicinal properties, and green moong is full of protein, iron, vitamin A, fibre and zinc. Take care to just partially cook the dal so as to retain its crunch.
