This homemade mung bean dahl and spinach curry is a Gujarati dish made with split mung beans. It provides carbohydrate and plant protein, along with minerals including calcium and iron. Per 100g, it contains 12g of carbohydrate, 7.8g of protein, 144mg of calcium and 3.1mg of iron.
Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. Iron is needed to make haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Iron from plant foods is absorbed less readily than iron from meat; vitamin C helps the body absorb plant iron. Salt and fat content can vary with the ingredients used in a homemade recipe.
