About Lentil porridge
Lentil porridge is a hearty and nutritious dish commonly found in cuisines across South Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. Made from simmering lentils with water or broth, it often includes a blend of aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander, as well as onions, garlic, and sometimes vegetables such as carrots or spinach. This porridge is high in plant-based protein, fiber, iron, and folate, making it an excellent option for sustaining energy and supporting overall health. Lentils are naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol, and when paired with whole grains like rice or flatbread, the dish provides a complete protein profile. However, depending on preparation, some versions may be high in sodium if heavily salted. Lentil porridge is versatile, filling, and offers a wholesome, nutrient-dense meal suitable for various dietary preferences.
