Green peas & Black gram Lentils Soup/ Indian Dal Recipe

This green peas and black gram lentil soup is a great food for weight-loss as its low in calorie and high in protein and fibres. For variation in taste and flavor, I have added green peas to the lentils. Here I have used split & dehusked black gram lentils which are white in color when raw. This dal is rich in protein like other varieties. You can take any other dal like massor (split orange lentils), moong (split & dehusked yellow lentils) to make this dish.

This lentil soup or dal soup is very filling and will keep you full for longer. Thus it adds to weight-loss.

This lentils soup turned out to be so delicious that I can’t stop myself from sharing this recipe in my blog. Hope you all will like the recipe. Try this healthy recipe and share your feedback here.

Lets make this recipe with basic ingredients. Green peas you can boil along with dal. However I have boiled them separately as I thought of this variation bit late.

Its prepared as regular curry so can be called as dal curry or give whatever name you want and add any other vegetable for nutrition and taste this is going to be delicious.
