Pumpkin/Squash Dal/lentils curry


Squash Stew2

About:

Lentils are super hearty, so a bowlful of this lentil stew /dal is plenty on its own. Alternatively, you could serve a slightly smaller portion alongside some rice, a big chunk of bread, or my favourite winter comfort food – creamy squash

Health Benefits:

There’s a lot of flavor and a lot of nutrition in a simple pot of lentil stew. Lentils are low in fat and high in protein and fiber. But they have the added advantage; unlike other legumes they cook very quickly!
