mixed dal recipe | acidity friendly mixed dal | Reflux-friendly mixed dal | gentle on stomach healthy mixed dal |
This unique mixed dal recipe is a perfect example of a meal that is both incredibly flavorful and gentle on the stomach. Unlike many traditional dal preparations, this one is specifically designed to be acidity friendly, making it an excellent choice for those who suffer from digestive issues like acid reflux. By carefully selecting ingredients and keeping the spices mild, this recipe proves that you can enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal without the discomfort that often follows.
The combination of three different lentils—yellow moong dal, masoor dal, and urad dal—provides a balanced and easily digestible base. Moong dal, in particular, is well-known in Ayurveda for its cooling properties and is very easy for the stomach to process, which is a major benefit for anyone prone to acidity. Masoor dal and urad dal add to the nutritional profile, offering a mix of proteins and fibers. This combination is less likely to cause gas or bloating compared to some single-dal recipes, making it a truly soothing and comfortable meal.
The recipe's approach to spices is what truly makes it reflux-friendly. While many dals rely on a heavy dose of red chili powder, this recipe uses only a minimal amount of finely chopped green chilies. This subtle heat is balanced by the aromatic qualities of ginger, cumin seeds, and fresh coriander. Ginger, a key ingredient here, is a natural digestive aid that helps to calm the stomach and reduce inflammation. The spices work together to impart a rich and satisfying flavor without triggering the acid production that spicy foods often do.
Beyond its benefits for acidity, this dal is also an excellent choice for managing low cholesterol and diabetes. The high fiber content from the lentils plays a dual role in promoting health. For cholesterol, the soluble fiber in the dals binds to cholesterol in the digestive system and helps to remove it from the body. This can lead to a significant reduction in LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. For diabetics, this same fiber helps to slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, preventing the sharp blood glucose spikes that can be so harmful.
Furthermore, this healthy mixed dal recipe is naturally low in fat and relies on a minimal amount of oil for tempering. This makes it a great heart-healthy choice. The inclusion of vegetables like onions and tomatoesadds essential vitamins and antioxidants without adding unnecessary calories or fat. These ingredients contribute to a well-rounded meal that supports overall wellness, from managing blood sugar to maintaining a healthy weight.
In conclusion, this gentle on the stomach healthy mixed dal is a testament to the fact that healthy food can be both simple and satisfying. Its thoughtful combination of digestible dals, stomach-soothing spices, and nutrient-rich vegetables makes it a perfect meal for anyone looking to eat better without compromising on taste. It provides a wholesome way to manage common health concerns like acidity, high cholesterol, and diabetes while enjoying a truly delightful culinary experience.

Yes without any estimate of how many grams is one serving, it makes no sense how much is 132 calories. Is it one cup, is it one spoon, what is that estimate though? Is it one kilo of dal, at least mention how much uncooked dal you started with. Why do you even post these articles where I cannot use it in real life.
