Lauki & Chana Dal (Split Chickpea Lentil & Gourd Soup)
Chana dal/lentils is black chickpeas (kala chana) that have been split and the black husks removed. These lentils have a sweet and nutty taste and are low fat, gluten-free and vegan. They are also high in fiber, a rich source of protein and also a good option for people who are on a low carb or diabetic-friendly diet due to its low glycemic index.
In the east, the gourd is regarded as one of the healthiest vegetables. It has a high water content (appox. 92%) and provides many vitamins and minerals and health benefits that aid in digestion, weight loss and hydration.
Serve it with rice and/or roti (flatbread) or my favourite – eat it on it’s own as a soup!
