Health benefits of Amritsari dal -
The Amritsari Dal ingredients make it super nutritious and power-packed with protein and other vital nutrients. The calorie count for this is low too, and the dietary fibre present in it reduces any risk of heart disease, prevents any spike in blood sugar levels, which makes it the perfect dish for diabetes. The Amritsari dal benefits extend to even providing a strong dose of folic acid. Vitamin C is also present in the nutrient content and it acts as a defence against coughs and cold. Finally, vitamin B1 helps protect nerves, increase carbohydrate metabolism, produce red blood cells and finally prevent heart disease too. Once you complete cooking the dish and store it in the fridge, it can be reheated by adding just a little bit of water. Enjoy it with a side of lemon and top with coriander for that final touch!
