Dieticians comments:
One serving will provide 5 g protein, 0.3 g fat, 15 g carbohydrate and 80 kcals.
This makes a good salad. It can be used instead of regular green salad with lunch or dinner or as a healthy snack.
Whole dals are packed with lots of nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, fibre, iron, calcium and energy. Vegetables added will also add to the fibre content and thus help in controlling blood sugar rise. Sprouts are also very rich in vitamins and lime juice will add some vitamin C.
Add some fenugreek powder as well as it has been proven to reduce the level of glucose in the blood to some extent.
